Who can resist this bouncy rhyme about letters racing each other to the top of the coconut tree? As each letter tries to get to the top first, the little coconut tree starts bending under the weight of the whole alphabet. Will there be enough room for all twenty-six letters? And who will get there first? Teaching children the alphabet is fun with the colorful pages and infectious rhyme in the new 20th anniversary edition of this tale, which is now published in an oversized board book format. The middle school children of this reader could not resist paging through one of their old favorites. Guaranteed to put a smile on readers' faces and have them humming a new tune as they learn their letters. Reviewer: Jeanne K. Pettenati, J.D.
