Product Description
DIVbThe unknown history of letters/biFor as long as any letter could remember, Vowels and Consonants had been enemies./iU without N? Q without U? Mpssh! you say. Yet once, long ago, P's and Q's minded their p's and q's, and though U and I deserved not one iota of respect. For their part, Vowels knew only that the dot on the youngest i was far moe important than the most capital W.And so they came to wage a fierce war to prove who were the better letters. But as S's outflank E's and O's surround H's, an enemy of all the alphabet appers on the horizon--one which neither Vowels or Consonants can conquer alone.In this hilarious look at the hidden life of letters, Priscilla and Whitney Turner reveal how sworn enemies become allies and discovered what you and I now take for granted: that the pen is mightier than the swrd./div

This book is a creative way to explain the relationship between vowels and consonants. Teachers can connect history, transportation, etc. to carry this book throughout the curriculum. This book would be a great addition to a school/home library. Very educational and is a great way to get boys interested in Language Arts.

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.pThe 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.
A hit at our house March 28, 2002

This is my 5 yr old's favourite book. We've spent quite a bit of time discussing the fun illustrations and the clever text. It always brings smiles to our faces...

.... 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!
This is an excellent book for classroom use! July 18, 1999

Children having difficulty differentiating between vowels and consonants can now "see" the difference. This will help in their comprehension of phonics. Also, this would be an outstanding story to aid in teaching conflict resolution!
