As a first grade teacher with over 30 years of experience, I’ve used CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM as a fun way to introduce the pure joy of language as well as the letter names. I had the honor of seeing the author, Bill Martin, Jr., do readings of his works and he was the ultimate showman. He used all his performance skills to try and instill the love of language and literature to many generations of learners.
I haven’t used the tag system but have purchased it for my three grandsons for Christmas. The boys are seven, four and newborn so I envision the system being used by the oldest two in various ways, independent reading, shared reading and sharing books with their youngest brother. I hope it will stand up to many, many readings.

Love this story, love the narrators voice. I’m pretty sure it is Gregory Hines, but can’t confirm. The kids (4.5 yrs) LOVE this book and now have it memorized!

You press the pen to the book and voila! The book speaks to you! My daughter loves this one the most, and she has a few of these. She has learned to read so much clearer since using the Tag system, because she uses it all the time.Her reading comprehension has improved alot too. I want to buy all of the Tag books for her.

This a great book to have in your library of Tag books. My son has several of the books for the Tag system and this is one of the favorites. He also happens to have this in the board book version, that he’s had for several years. So when he got this for the Tag it made the story come to life, and his letter recognition got even better. I would recommend this book, because the story is in rhyme and has a nice beat, if they decide to dance while they are reading. In addition most of the pages have games for them to play that are all educational. Such as the first page, it may ask you to look for the “letter that spoke to B”. If you know the story the first page starts off with “A told B and B told C, I’ll meet you at the top of the coconut tree”. This book is well worth the money, especially as a starter for the Tag system. It helps with letter recognition and learning to read.
