In a much-anticipated new companion to the beloved and bestselling classic Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, the rollicking alphabet chant gets a holiday twist.
“A told B, and B told C,
I’ll meet you in the branches of the Christmas tree.”
In this holiday alphabet rhyme, the crew of beloved letters gets their chance to shine as decorations on the Christmas tree!
As a prior preschool teacher, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom was one of my favorite books to read so I was excited to receive this book.
The holiday-centric story is perfect for gift-giving and is destined to become a cherished household holiday read.
CHICKA CHICKA HO HO HO! marks the first of many new titles to expand the iconic CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM brand, which has sold nearly 30 million units to date! Also, much like its predecessor, this new addition combines alphabet learning with festive fun, making it an ideal educational tool for younger audiences. We believe CHICKA CHICKA HO HO HO! will be a standout addition to any holiday book collection, offering both educational and entertainment value.

Bestselling creator of Not Quite Narwhal is baking up a new picture book filled with time travel hijinks and tasty treats. Jessie Sima is known for their heartwarming stories and COOKIE TIME (on-sale 9/3/24) just adds to their already impressive collection! If you are looking for titles to add for National Cookie Month in October or National Cookie Day in December, than look no further than this deliciously fun time-travelling romp!
COOKIE TIME is about two kids who love the tradition to bake cookies with Grandpa but they get impatient and build a time machine to skip to the best part, eating.
Ultimately it’s a book about enjoying being present and spending time with family. Turns out the waiting is the best part if you are waiting with people you love. This is simply a delightful story and I loved the characters and illustrations!
This one is a perfect one for the older kids! UNRAVELED, which is book #9.5 in the series, is sure to be one that KEEPER fans are going to be begging for during the holiday season, especially since it’s told entirely through fan-favorite character Keefe’s perspective. It’s essential reading to bridge the gap between STELLARLUNE (book 9) and the yet to be announced book 10. This book tells what happened to Keefe when he was absent from STELLARLUNE while visiting the Forbidden Cities and trying to control his scary new powers and find answers to his past.
| Book Description |
| The past and present unravel into staggering truths in this can’t-miss installment of the New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling Keeper of the Lost Cities series told entirely from Keefe’s point of view. Please be careful. Please be happy. And PLEASE forget all about me. It’ll be better for everyone that way. Those were the last words Keefe Sencen wrote to Sophie Foster before he ran away to the Forbidden Cities. He didn’t want to leave, but it was the only way to keep his friends safe while he figured out how to control his scary new powers and searched for answers about his past. What he found was so much more than adventures in Humanland. Where did he go? What did he do? And who did he meet while the rest of his friends worked to solve the mystery of Stellarlune? The answers go far beyond anything anyone could have ever imagined and give Keefe the power to change his destiny. |
