BOARDBOOK- I'll meet you at the top of the coconut tree. When all the letters of the alphabet race one another up the coconut tree, will there be enough room? A rollicking alphabet chant that has been a children's favorite for more than twenty years! Bill Martin Jr and John Archambault's rhythmic text keeps the beat with Caldecott Honor illustrator Lois Ehlert's bold, cheerful art.

Developmental Highlights & Diverse Elements:This book includes rhyming, repetition and predictable texts all of which engage children in a way that helps support language development, making it a great choice for all children, but can specifically be helpful for children experiencing speech and language delay because the repetition in the story will help the child learn language. The rhymes offer an opportunity to let the child fill in the rhyming and predictable word as he or she develops, and it also offers an opportunity to ask questions about the story like, “Do you think the letter’s will make it to the top of the coconut tree?”
