     Starred review from July 19, 2004
     Martin and Sampson (co-authors of I Pledge Allegiance)
     and Ehlert present an exuberant follow-up to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
     (which Martin wrote with John Archambault, and Ehlert illustrated in 1989). Here numbers take over an apple tree, rather than letters tumbling from coconut tree branches. Launching the appealingly absurd antics is a challenge framed in the familiar rhythm: "1 told 2/ and 2 told 3,/ 'I'll race you to the top/ of the apple tree.' " As the subsequent numbers climb one by one with equal enthusiasm (after 20, the counting goes up by 10s), a worried zero (as indicated by a stray bead of perspiration) chants a refrain, "Chicka Chicka/ 1, 2, 3.../ Will there be a/ place for me?" The climbing comes to a halt when bumblebees arrive, ordering the numbers to vacate, which they do in reverse order ("90, 80,/ 70 fall,/ hit the ground/ in a free-for-all"). A fun twist involves a missing number and zero, who finally realizes where he belongs and leaps atop the leaves, a move that scares off the bees and clears the way for the other numbers to return. Featuring electric colors and an amalgam of basic shapes, Ehlert creates cut-paper compositions as wry and buoyant as the rhyming text. Several embellishments offer additional whimsy (5 wears a top hat, 70 sports long hair); endpapers and jacket flaps brim with brightly-hued numbers. Cleverly calculated verse and visuals add up to numerical mayhem that will entertain as well as reinforce counting skills and digit identification. Ages 3-7.

     PreS-Gr 2-A counting-book companion to Martin and Ehlert's Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom (S & S, 1989). The cut-paper art is almost identical to the earlier work, right down to the use of vibrant splashes of color. The layout will also be familiar to that title's many fans. At the center of the story this time, however, is an apple tree. Numerals race to the top with 1, 2, and 3 leading the way. Next come 4, 5, and 6 climbing right behind, but "Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3- Will there be a place for me?" asks 0. Page after page, the numbers climb ("Hot pink 12, lucky 13, picking apples, red and green") and they all forget 0 down in the lower right-hand corner. They keep going "until at last there's 99, and all the numbers are feeling fine." Except for 0, that is, who begins to cry once again, "Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3- Will there be a place for me?" And, at precisely that moment, a swarm of bumblebees arrives shouting, "GET OUT OF OUR TREE-." Alas, the counting begins anew, this time backward. And 0, no bad apple, finally discovers his life's calling and rightful place: at the very top of the tree next to 10, who stayed there all along, becoming- 100. This story is a perfect selection for 100th day or Zero the Hero celebrations. A deliciously sweet selection, and a nifty counting book to boot.-Roxanne Burg, Orange County Public Library, CA

     PreS-Gr. 1. Since its first publication in 1989, Martin and Ehlert's " Chicka Chicka Boom Boom " has delighted preschoolers with its rhyme about an irresistibly rowdy alphabet that scales a tree. Tree-climbing numbers replace letters in this follow-up, which is as visually exciting as the earlier book. Ehlert's cut-paper collages retain the previous title's tropical hues and solid, playful shapes, but the conceptual exercise is more challenging than in the first book, which simply ran, letter by letter, up and down the alphabet. Here the numbers ascend by ones up to 20, after which they switch to intervals of tens (30, 40, 50) until they reach 90, which is followed not by 100, but by 99. Zero follows 99, accompanied by text that may confuse children: "0 lands on top / of the tree, / joins with 10. / Now 100 you see!" Adults will probably need to explain the math; the bright endpapers that count by ones to 100 will help. Despite the tricky concepts, though, the chanting rhyme and eye-popping images have a contagious energy youngsters will find irresistible.

     As numbers (up to 99) ascend a tree, Zero frets below: "Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3...Will there be a place for me?" Bumblebees defend their tree, and the numbers fall, all except 10, who eventually is joined at the top of the tree by Zero to form the number 100. This is a visually pleasing but conceptually weak revisit of a one-of-a-kind original.

     In the immensely popular Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (rev. 1/90), the letters of the alphabet climb up a coconut tree and come crashing down. Substitute numbers for letters, an apple tree for the coconut tree, and co-writer Michael Sampson for John Archambault, and you have Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3. As numbers (all the way up to 99) ascend the tree, zero frets below: "Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3... Will there be a place for me?" Bumblebees defend their tree from the invading numbers, and the numbers fall, all except number 10, who eventually is joined at the top of the tree by zero to form the number 100. Ehlert employs the same crisp look of the previous book, cutting bright paper into shapes set flat against a white background, making the pictures feel equally energetic. Her bees are amusingly triangle-headed (and therefore not scary), and children will enjoy finding the various boo-boos on the fallen numbers. However, the text strains to achieve the whimsy and bounce of the original; some of the ideas seem peculiar ("70's hair is long and sandy"?); and the distinction between the one zero in 10 and the two zeroes in 100 is both confusing and false. Overall, it's a visually pleasing but conceptually weak revisit of a one-of-a-kind original.
