Why read it?

3 authors picked Chicka Chicka Boom Boom as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love the rhyming nature of this book and the fact that it is also available as a song! The emphasis on learning the ABCs is also a bonus for you and your baby. I grew up on this book, so there is a familiarity—it is amazing how quickly the words came back to me after all of these years.

From Elyssa's list on books for babies with rhyming stories.

As soon as I put the book in front of my son, he starts laughing and goes to open the first page.

I believe he loves the polka dots and the Chick Chicka Boom Boom tree. I also think he likes the rhyming scheme. Even if he’s feeling under the weather, this book cheers him up. 

New parents are likely to need a little practice reading aloud, especially to an unseen audience. A perfect choice for your first-time read-aloud experience is the whimsical rhyming alphabet book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. In a simple, catchy tempo it describes the antics of the personified letters of the alphabet—great fun to read aloud! This story has all the qualities that babies in utero respond to rhythm, repetition, and rhyme. Once baby arrives, this rousing, romping tale will have your little one wriggling and cooing to the familiar beat! 

From Susan's list on to read to your baby in utero.
