Contents 1	Synopsis 2	Impact 3	Album 3.1	Tracks 4	References Synopsis The lowercase letters, A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z, climb up a coconut tree in alphabetical order, until their weight causes the tree to lean and all the letters fall out of the tree. Capital letters (the older relatives of the lowercase letters) come to rescue them. Again alphabetically, while being rescued, it describes some of the letter’s injuries including: D having a skinned-knee, E having a stubbed toe, F being patched up, G being all out of breath, H and I being tangled up, J and K about to cry, L being knotted like a tie, M being looped, N being stooped, O being twisted alley-oop, P having a black eye, and T having a loose tooth.

Later at night, the letter A gets out of bed and starts climbing up the tree again.

Impact An audio book version is also available, narrated by Ray Charles.

A CD-ROM game was released in 1995 by Davidson and Simon & Schuster Interactive.

It inspired a 2004 sequel, Chicka, Chicka, 1, 2, 3. A board book for toddlers, entitled Chicka, Chicka ABC was published in 1990, containing the first half of the full story, which ends up with all 26 letters falling out of the tree.

Weston Woods made an animated musical short film adaptation of the original book in 1999, with music composed and performed by Crystal Taliefero.
