Summary: Boys love this book
Comment: The essence of vowels is very different than the essence of consonants, and in this story vowels and consonants become characters in separatist communities whose mutual irritation with the other escallates into war.
The qualities of the letters is depicted very cleverly, and the illustrations very playfully draw attention to the letters in a much more charming way than the typical ABC book. The battle scenes are a big favorite for the boys who will ask to read the book over and over again. And the ending leaves seeds for thought both in how letters work together and in how people live together.

Summary: A hit at our house

Summary: Toccoa, GA, USA
Comment: .... My six year old JUST LOVED this story, the humor is right on target for a child who is learning about the difference between vowels, consonants, letters sounds, etc. Even more so for the emerging reader that can actually read much if the book themselves , including the ending when all the letters "join forces" to spell out a message. This is not a phonics book, rather a humorous tale with a moral. Nurturing good reading habits in young readers involves not only helping them understand that books can introduce them to new ideas and take them to far away places but also that the books they read can be funny and truly make them laugh out loud. This book surely fits the bill!
