This favorite of young children, parents, and preschool teachers since its original publication is now available in full in a standard-size board-book format. (A previous edition included only half the story.) This version contains the entire tale, from the trek up the tree through the pileup and rescue, to the letter A's "dare double dare" in the moonlight.

One of the liveliest, jazziest alphabet books on record. Tongue-tingling, visually stimulating, the book demands to be read again and again. This twentieth-anniversary edition includes "a bit of Chicka history" by Archambault and Ehlert, and the book's dust jacket doubles as a poster.
