For as long as any letter could remember, Vowels and Consonants had been enemies.
U 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 thought U and I deserved not one iota of respect. For their part, Vowels knew only that the dot on the youngest i was far more 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 appears 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 sword.
This full-color picture book, great for reading aloud, tells the tale of how the two types of mutually distrustful social groups of letters got together to form words.
