This story is so fun to read - but even more fun to sing (and dance to)! Great story for a more active group of learners! (Or even as a ‘dance break’)

This book was one of my all time favorite books as a child and is still one of my personal favorites. This book tells the story of the alphabet letters, as they climb to the top of a coconut tree. The beautiful, flowing rhymes, colorful illustrations, and the ways that this book makes learning the alphabet fun for readers, are only a few of the reasons I love this book. I read the book multiple times, even aloud. I felt as if I was singing a song, due to the ways the words flow and repetition. I would read this book to a classroom of students in a heartbeat, and love it! ( )

The Alphabet gets themselves into trouble when the climb up the coconut tree but that is not quite enough to keep them down! All around fun book for many different teaching standards! ( )

Cute rhyming and rhythmic book that introduces and reinforces the letters of the alphabet. ( )
