Creativity & Curiosity
Kindergarten ABC Written & illustrated by Jacqueline Rogers
Each page of this book celebrates a letter of the alphabet with a fun-filled classroom scene. On Aa day, children find acorns; on Bb day, they bring in their backpacks; and on Cc day, they change the calendar. For additional alphabet fun, there’s a search- and-find element embedded in the illustrations throughout.
CELEBRATING CREATIVITY THE WORLD AROUND US
Imagination & Exploration
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Written by Bill Martin, Jr., and John Archambault & illustrated by Lois Ehlert ”A told B, and B told C, I’ll meet you at the top of the coconut tree.” This lively, rhythmic read-aloud, brought to life with the collage artistry of Lois Ehlert, tells the story of what happens when all the letters of the alphabet race each other up the coconut tree—only to tumble down again when their combined weight proves to be too much for the tree. “Oh, no!; Chicka chicka . . . Boom! Boom!” Countless children—and their parents— can joyfully recite the familiar words of this beloved alphabet chant. Bill Martin, Jr., and John Archambault’s rhythmic text keeps the beat with Caldecott Honor illustrator Lois Ehlert’s bold, cheerful art. This winning combination has made Chicka Chicka Boom Boom an enduring classic.
