In this follow up to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom numbers are the focus rather than letters. Following the same concept as before the reader follows as one by one the numbers race up the tree. In this sequel however, things do get a little more complicated as once the numbers hit 20, they begin to climb

in groups of 10 until 90. Fun way to teach both basic numbers up to 20 as well as how to count by 10s.

Chicka Chicka 123 is a math information book to help students learn the concept of counting numbers that fall into a tree.

LibraryThing member whitneyharrison

This books i very rythmic. Having that rhyme is great for students who are just learning how to count. It's a fun way of counting that could be enjoyed by students.

One hundred and one numbers climb the apple tree in this bright, rollicking, joyous book for young children. As the numerals pile up and bumblebees threaten, what's the number that saves the day?

LibraryThing member EricaD

Was an okay book, not as good as the original.

LibraryThing member menaramore

This is a story about numbers who climb to the top of the apple tree. They all climb to the top until the tree is too full and they all fall out. Then, zero becomes the hero of the apple tree. This story is great because not only does it teach numbers and counting, but it is also entertaining.

LibraryThing member kmsmith13

This book is all about numbers and counting. Throughout the story numbers are climbing up an apple tree and they eventually all fall out. Zero, the number that originally didn't have a space in the number tree became the hero because he could join with the number ten to create the number one

hundred. This book is also full of rhyming words so it would be great for both counting and rhyming words.

This is a great book for young children who are working on counting. The book counts up to 20, then goes to 30, 40, and so on untill 100 is reached. Then all of the numbers that had climbed to the top of the apple tree begin to fall out, so the counting starts again only backwards this time. The

number that ends up saving the day rhymes with "hero." Can you guess which number ends up saving the day?

Great children's book with lots of colors and pictures. The story mentions lots of numbers all the way up to 100. The numbers are climbing up the apple tree and are trying to figure out what number saves the day from the bumblebees. A great book for children who are learning their numbers.

LibraryThing member amandapfloyd

This book counts forwards and backwards from 0 to 100. Helps teach children to count and shows repetition and rhyming.

LibraryThing member Andreawallin

Reaction: The vibrantly illustrated book match the lively written text, making this the perfect read aloud. The rhythm is so strong it becomes a sort of chant, making it a perfect and fun read aloud for children.

LibraryThing member victoriawatson

This is a counting book. all of the numbers find their spot in the tree except for zero. Bumblebees run everyone out and zero is the only brave one who takes back the tree.

Great counting book!

LibraryThing member jlowens4

I really enjoyed the book, "Chicka Chicka 1-2-3". The book is about the number 0-100 climbing a tree together. All the numbers have a place except zero. When a bee comes by all of the numbers fall out of the tree. This book is a great tool when working with students on number recognition. The book

will help students count from 0-100.

This is a good book for teaching chidlren about numbers. This is a very cute rhyming book that correlates with the first chicka, chicka book except this one is introducing numbers.

LibraryThing member meotoole

This book is a great way to introduce children to numbers!

LibraryThing member smendel18

This a a simple children's book that looks at counting up to 20. This is for younger audiences that are emerging into math students. This book is great and intriguing, and kids will love it! Great to introduce new math concepts.

LibraryThing member cegordon

This book is about numbers. Throughout the book, there are all these numbers that are together and try to find a place for Zero. They all climb the tree. Eventually, zero finds a place!

LibraryThing member mcdarden

Great book to teach numerous lessons dealing with numerous to one hundred.

LibraryThing member bmaiello

Similar to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, but with numbers up to 100.

LibraryThing member ashley3919

This is a great book to use in very young grades to teach numbers and counting.

LibraryThing member alexandraharris

Similar to the story Chicka, Chicka Boom Boom and letters I love how this story introduces numbers and counting. It is a fun way to review counting skills with students.

LibraryThing member clong

This is not nearly as effective as the original. Some of the rhymes are ridiculously strained, and the story just doesn't make sense on any level. Why do we jump to increments of 10 when we get to 20? Why is 70 the only number with personality? Why does 10 defy the onslaught of bumblebees? Why does

forming the number 100 resolve the conflict? What kind of a whiny role model does our hero 0 provide when all is said and done?

None of which is to deny that my four year old likes it.

Primary
This is a good example of fantasy because the author makes talking numbers on an apple tree with different colored fit work really well. It is believable that zero could feel like he has no place. The characters in this book are the numbers 0 - 99 and they are portrayed through dialog and

narration. Except for zero they are very flat.

This repeats itself, a good way for kids to learn how to count, or to review their counting skills they already had. For young kids

LibraryThing member kelseypeterson

I love chicka chicka 1,2,3. This book is great to use for children who are having trouble with their numbers. You can show children what number sequences are by using this book! I would recommend this book to use in a classroom. I gave this book five stars because the illustrations are great and

the wording is written in a fun way. Children will actually learn from this book because they can do fun activities with it. I wish that I had had this book when I was growing up.
