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?
School Library Journal - Can U Save the Day Review
It’s consonants vs. vowels in Stocker’s debut picture book. The letter B brags, “There are 5 vowels in your group/but 21 in our grand troop./I’m a more important letter. Consonants are so…/much…/BETTER!” The vowels take great offense and one by one leave the alphabet. 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. VERDICT This slight but fun rhyming addition to elementary libraries and classrooms will guarantee laughs as a read-aloud and will teach a lesson in cooperation and respect and give some pointers on how to apologize.–
