false 293595 15 The 26 characters in this rhythmic, rhyming baby book are a lowercase alphabet with attitude. "A told b, and b told c, 'I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree'"--which probably seemed like a good idea until the other 23 members of the gang decided to follow suit. Lois Ehlert's chunky block illustrations show the luxuriant green palm standing straight and tall on the first page, but it begins to groan and bend under its alphabetical burden. First the coconuts fall off, then ("Chicka chicka... BOOM! BOOM!") all the letters also end up in a big heap underneath. A very simple board-book version stops there, but this original text goes on to introduce the helping hands of the 26 uppercase "mamas and papas and uncles and aunts." 680304 book 1989 Chicka Chicka Boom Boom total:3351|5:1578|4:943|3:611|2:166|1:53| 3351 13880 3704 373 4 1 false false Thu Oct 09 14:04:48 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 14:17:25 -0700 2008
