Toddler-K–The letters are back for a spooktacular adventure! In this playful Halloween twist on Bill Martin Jr.’s beloved Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Chung delivers a rhythmic tale that’s sure to engage little readers. With vibrant illustrations and a lively beat, the story follows the letters as they “sneaka sneak” their way up a creaky old tree in search of a “tricka treat.” But when a big “BOO!” sends them tumbling down, they must find the courage to climb back up for a well-earned holiday surprise. This kid-friendly take on the ABC classic is packed with festive fun, featuring playful ghosts, wiggly eyeballs, cute costumes, and just the right amount of spooky charm. The catchy rhythm makes it perfect for reading—or chanting—aloud, keeping young readers enthralled while reinforcing early literacy skills.
VERDICT A must-have for little ghouls and goblins who love letters and laughs. Buy it to give holiday collections a boost.
