An exceedingly rough sequel that I wish my child didn't like.

Cameron and I think Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is better, but she still laughed quite a bit.

I enjoyed reading this book to the children especially at circle-time, we review the colors, numbers and discuss any new word or words. The repetition is also good because it helps to re-enforce the concepts. The children love to read this book.

My little man assigns the number of stars on these. We like the counting to 100 and rather enjoyed the rhythmic feel that the words have. Can be chanted/sung for additional fun!

Chicka Chicka 1,2,3 is a book for younger children. The book tells a simple story of a group of numbers all climbing a tree. Each number is listed in order with a memorable description or action. Those familiar with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, will find that this book has much in common in structure and art, but with numbers as the subject matter. Eventually they are chased out of the tree by bees, and as they come out they are listed in reverse order. This will help children both with counting up

Cute book but not my absolute favorite. It may resonate better with children who are young and working on counting and numbers but I just didn’t personally love it. It’s 40 pages long which personally I think would be difficult for kindergartners to stay focused through the whole thing but the concept ( counting ) is for their age range so while another grade may do better with the length , the concept would be too easy. It has numbers 1-20 climb up the apple tree and then 30-90 comes up by 10s....

Cute, but not quite as good as the original. The rhyme scheme seems a little more forced, and the plot doesn't quite flow as well (for instance- why in the world does the zero joining up with 10 to become 100 suddenly make all the threatening bees mysteriously go away?)

Zero is a little number who tries to find his place with the other numbers. He sits on the side of the tree and watches the other numbers 1-99 go up the tree. As he asked the other numbers “Will there be a place for me?” no one responds to him. They just continue right up the tree. Once all the numbers 1-99 were up the tree Zero begins to cry feeling that he has no place in the tree. Then the bumbles came and shouted for all the numbers 1-99 to get out their tree. All the numbers came running do...

When we read this book my kids just want to read the original. My daughter often comments that 0 isn’t the only hero, that it wouldn’t be 100 without 10. The situation with the bees confuses me too. Its nice for a variation on the original if that’s what you are looking for.

Another HitMy daughter loves the original Chicka Chicka Boom Boom book. This was a given win with her and it added numbers to her skills. The story and rhymes are cute. Thumbs up!

Not as good as Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom, but we still enjoy this one.

Pointless sequel that lacks the charm of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

Chicka Chicka 1*2*3 by Bill Martin Jr., Michael Sampson, and Lois Ehlert is a very energetic and colorful picture book. This book is about numbers, numbers that are climbing a tree and they talk. Out of five stars I rated this book at 5. I just love the plot of the book, numbers climbing a tree first in number order from one to twenty. Meanwhile as each number climbs the tree, the number zero watches and ask the same question over and over again saying, “Chicka, Chicka, 1*2*3… Will there be a pl...

Age Level: This book would be good for a little one in the kindergarten that is learning how to count. It is fun and interactive and helps the student count to a hundred in a more fun way.Summary: In this book, it starts with 1, 2, 3 climbing up the apple tree. The whole time, 0 asks if there is a place for him, but he is ignored. All the numbers up to 99 climb the apple tree, except 0. He becomes very sad, then suddenly bees come and kick all of the numbers out of the tree. 0 hides behind the t...

Sometimes it is best to stop with the original and not try to duplicate it in a different manner. Though it was a fun read, I kept comparing it to Chicka, Chicka Boom Boom and well this is no Chicka, Chicka Boom Boom. It is a fun way to look at numbers but only ok for me.

This book followed the very popular Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. that was a story about the alphabet going up to the top of a coconut tree. Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3, is obviously similar, but with numbers. This is a fun book to read with fun rhymes and a great rhythm. It puts a fun, personal, and creative spin on young students learning their numbers, but I still kept comparing it to the original. This book, instead of a coconut tree, the numbers climb up an apple tree and it’s just n...

I originally rated this book 3 stars, but my 4-year-old granddaughter loves it. We read it every night, and she has it memorized. It has helped her to recognize and understand bigger numbers and she is starting to see that adding a zero to a number changes it to a larger number (like when zero joined with 10).

I only wish it was as good as Chicka Chicka Boom Boom...

This book is a counting books 1-100 its a great learning books for the ages of 5-8. It was very interesting and for the ages 5-8 using a objects to help count was a great idea. The main character was a bumba bee the bee was to knock some apples off the counting tree this allowed the learning counters to figure out the next number that is supposed to be on the tree. This book is allowing this young learners to think on there own learning how to count knowing what number comes next all while havin...
