Book of the Week: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

The snowmen of last month are making way for anthropomorphized letters, shapes that turn into objects, and colour mixing in February's Books of the Week.

This week, the children will be reading Bill Martin Jr.'s Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, co-written by John Archambault and illustrated by Lois Elhert. In it, lower-case letters climb a coconut tree, but fall out when the tree bends under their weight. Their capital letter parents, aunts and uncles help them back to their feet.
