Can U Save The Day?

Can U Save the Day?

Product Description B is an awfully boastful bloke and when he and the rest of the alphabet get together, he can't help but tease the vowels about their small numbers. So the vowels begin to take off, one by one. The consonants--and the rest of the farm--see just how important vowels really are. With disaster looming and B seeing the error of his ways, can U save the day and set the alphabet right again? Review This is a merry outing, with simple artwork that illustrates how funny words look when they drop a few letters. Fun can also be had for younger readers trying to figure out which letters are missing from a pig's "onk" and a bird's "twt"; classroom extension possibilities seem nearly endless. Stocker's wordplay is the icing on the cake.The moral of the story: Don't anger vowels, or horses will go "ngh." --Kirkus Reviews It's consonants vs. vowels in Stocker's debut picture book. Told using the alphabet, animals, and the sounds they make, this story educates readers about the concept of consonants and the importance of vowels. Disbury's colorful illustrations pop against the clean white background. The playful animals and letters have detailed expressions that add greatly to the story line. --School Library Journal A funny and entertaining way to talk about the alphabet and grammar, creative problem solving, and teamwork, as well as a fun story to share any time, Can U Save the Day? would be an entertaining addition to home, classroom, and public library bookshelves. --Celebrate Picture Books About the Author Shannon Stocker is a proud word nerd who loves all letters equally.
