Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3"Every kindergarten teacher must have this book! We will all need a chicka, chicka apple tree in our classrooms. In the same style as Chicka, Chicka Boom, Boom, this book features the numbers climbing an apple tree. 1-20 climb, and then counting by 10’s until 100 is at the top of the apple tree!" - Amazon Review Here is the full text of the book: Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 by Bill Martin Jr. 1 told 2, and 2 told 3...
"I’ll race you to the top of the apple tree."
"Climb" said 4, to 5 and 6.
Bright little numbers that... join the mix.
"Hurry!"
yelled 7, to number 8.
Slow-poke fellow who’s always late.
Chicka chicka 123, will there be a place for me?
Here comes 9 to the apple tree.
Next comes 10, and then 11.
Wow! These apples taste like heaven.

"GET OUT OF OUR TREE!!!"
the bumblebees shout.
And all the numbers tumble out.
