An alphabet rhyme/chant that relates what happens when the
whole alphabet tries to climb a coconut tree.  "A told B, /
and B told C, / I'll beat you to the top of the coconut
tree." Rascally A entices the whole alphabet up the tree,
but the tree cannot handle the weight. All the lowercase
letters come crashing to the ground, "Chicka chicka...
BOOM! BOOM!" Uppercase letters rush in to comfort the
little ones, and all is well-for a while-in this
irresistible alphabet book. Ehlert's bright, graphic
illustrations join the jazzy foot-tapping rhyme.
