Chica chica bum bum, el éxito de ventas en edición de pasta dura, está ahora disponible en español.


A told B,
And B told C,
“I’ll meet you at the top
of the coconut tree.”

A le dijo a B
y B le dijo a C:
—En el cocotero,
¡allí te esperaré!

When all the letters of the alphabet race one another up the coconut tree, will there be enough room? Oh, no—Chicka Chicka BOOM! BOOM!

Cuando todas las letras del alfabeto corren hasta el cocotero, ¿Habrá suficiente espacio? ¡Oh, no! Chica chica ¡BUM! ¡BUM!
