Great Book

This is a really neat book. As an adult I enjoyed it and as a future educator I cannot wait to teach this book.

Hysterical!

This book is great. Very funny! It has an appeal for adults as well as children. The book arrived very quickly and exactly as advertised.

creative

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.

A hit at our house

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!
