Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is one of my most favorite books to start the school year off with for children in early childhood classroom and in your home while working with toddlers and preschoolers.  

It’s all about having fun with the english language and with the alphabet!  It’s also the quickest way to see what letters your child knows and needs to learn.
