About the author
John Archambault
94 books26 followersMost well known for his best-selling classic Chicka Chicka Boom Boom which he wrote and dedicated to his son, Arie Alexander Archambault, 15 years ago when he was the “new baby boom boom.” By all accounts John Archambault is a modern day alchemist. In medieval days the alchemists were said to have secret knowledge enabling them to turn base metals into gold. Archambault does something no less amazing; he turn something that many children dread: learning, into a magical experience. John’s work motivated kids to turn off the TV and get turned on to the magical worlds that reading can deliver. “I have a passion for bringing words to life. I stir rhythm, rhyme, and whimsy, stringing words so that a melody is created, then kids can ride along on this musical river.”
John is developing a series of Big Books (shared reading) for Childcraft Education Corporation, incorporating musical CDs with read-along and sing-along styles to help early readers develop fluency and intuitive associations with print while making the experience fun, affective, and effective. Some of the titles to be published are: I Love the Mountains, Turtle Song, Grandmother’s Garden, The Birth of a Whale, Freedom’s Dream and several titles devoted to singable, readable Mother Goose. Archambault collaborated extensively with Bill Martin Jr. and together they created the landmark supplemental reading program, the Sounds of Language.
Archambault has become fascinated with brain research involving the power of music, most notably The Mozart Effect by Don G. Campbell. “We all know that kids love music but studies show that music may strengthen the mind, aiding learning and membory.” To that end, Archambault has six music compilations on CD available through Youngheart Music performed with British recording artist and partner, David Plummer. Titles include Painting My World and Dancing on the Moon.
In addition to the CDs, Archambault has authored and co-authored over 20 books. Several have won awards including Parent’s Choice, ALA Notable Children’s book, Kentucky Blue Grass, and the American Library Association awards. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (Aladdin Library, 2000) was recently chosen to be included in the 21st Century Literature Collection along with such famous titles as Curious George and Madeline. Archambault’s works have appeared as featured selections on the PBS shows “Reading Rainbow” and “Storytime.”

Action, intrigue, suspense! This kid's book has it all along with awesome shiny and bright illustrations! It also has a sing songy form of writing that is catchy! It keeps the kids listening and engaged to find out what is going to happen to the goose and the duck and if they will get the truck off the train tracks in time.
It amazes me when an author can use so few simple words and make a profound book that elicits so much emotion. Marcos and I read this book a dozen times and it was enjoyable every single time. Duck just wants to go home to his family and his little duck shack near wading water. He's headed that way when that damn goose gets his truck stuck on the tracks. Okay, no biggie, Duck is focused on getting home, but then the train comes clackety clack down the tracks and Duck realizes that he has no choice but to turn back and save Goose as the train is bearing down on his pickup track. He runs back, jumps in the truck, and shoves Goose over while he applies "metal to the pedal" to get that truck over the tracks. Whoo! A close call. Duck realizes his job is done and once again is focused on getting home to his beautiful family in the duck shack.
