“A told B, and B told C, ‘I’ll meet you on top of the coconuttree.’” This rollicking rhythmic beginning starts a lively, tongue-tingling adventure as all the characters from A to Z try to climb to the top of the coconut tree. But will there be enough room? With an insistent, repetitive chorus of “chicka, chicka, boom, boom,” this book entertains while teaching the alphabet without even trying. Capital and small letters are both introduced. When all the letters get to the top of the tree, it bends over and all the “baby” (lower case) letters fall out. Then, each “adult” (upper case) letter comes, rescues its baby, and runs home to take care of their various (not serious) injuries. A very clever presentation of the alphabet.
Little Bear can't wait to try out some new experiences, and he certaanly can't wait to listen to Mummy Bear's advice. But when he realises that he's taken on more than he can handle, Mummy Bear is ready to come to the rescue. With writing paper and envelopes to write a letter to your mummy telling her how much you love her.
