Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is an American children's picture book written by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault, illustrated by Lois Ehlert,[1] and published by Simon & Schuster in 1989.

While putting the tree back to its upright position and leaving the place, again in alphabetical order, many of the letters are revealed to have suffered from certain injuries, including "d" with a skinned knee, "e" with a stubbed toe, "f" wearing a bandage, "g" being out of breath, "h" and "i" tangled together, "j" and "k" crying in pain, "l" being knotted, "m" being looped, "n" being stooped, "o" being twisted, "p" having a black eye, and "t" having a loose tooth.

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.

Additionally, a CD-ROM game based on the book was released in 1995 by Davidson and Simon & Schuster Interactive.

It was named a 1992 "Notable Children's Recording American Library Association and in 1993, won a Parents' Choice Award.
