Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, also known as Chicka Chicka ABC, is a bestselling American children's book written by Bill Martin, Jr. and John Archambault, illustrated by Lois Ehlert,[1] and published by Simon & Schuster in 1989. The book features anthropomorphized letters.
Plot
changeThe lowercase alphabet magnets climb up a coconut tree in order, but their weight causes the tree to lean over, causing themselves to fall out of the tree. Shortly after, the uppercase alphabet magnets (the older relatives of the lowercase alphabet) come to rescue them. Again alphabetically, while being rescued, most of the alphabet receive certain injuries. Later that night, the letter A gets up and climbs back up the coconut tree, proposing a double dare on the rest of the alphabet to catch him. You see the story in the Hutchinson Treasury of Stories to Read Aloud, the book published in 2000. It has British and American terms, too. The book was published by Random House, but the American book is the 20th-century Children's Book Treasury. It was published in 1998.[2]
