Description
A sing-song parody book that captures the nervous excitement of starting college!
Soon-to-be college students who grew up with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom will love this lighthearted reboot that follows them to their next milestone. With warmth, humor, vibrant art, and a sing-song rhyme on every page, this parody board book captures the joyful frenzy of moving into a dorm. Just like the alphabet letters piled onto the coconut tree in the original, readers will relate to the main character and his family as they pile an endless array of odds and ends into the car (Here comes Fan and Shower Caddy…Bathrobe, String Lights, Inflatable Tree!), drive to campus, and unload. Who cares if everything comes tumbling out of the car when they arrive? A loving support network of family, new friends, and roommates will pick up the pieces. By the time the parents hug their kid goodbye, they’ve turned his dorm room into a version of home. Chicka Chicka Dorm Room is the feel-good go-to gift for grads (and grad parents) everywhere.
“Mom told Dad and Dad told me,
move-in day begins at a quarter past 3.
Flip flops, mini vac, wet wipes, whee!
A whole department store inside an SUV.
Chicka chicka vroom vroom, will there be enough room?”
