About The Book

From the creators of the bestselling classic Chicka Chicka Boom Boom comes a lively parade of fancy, dancy, prancy words!

Some words are long.
Some words are short.
Some words are fancy.
Some words are dancy.

Bill Martin, Jr., and John Archambault’s rhythmic text about first words is the perfect fit for Lois Ehlert’s bold, bright, cheerful art. This winning combination makes this book a must-have for all Chicka Chicka Boom Boom fans!
