The Vowel Family: A Tale of Lost Letters

32 pp. | Carolrhoda | March, 2008 | Library ISBN 978-0-8225-7982-3 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin Luthardt. The Vowel family finds that "Tlkng s vr hrd" without vowels; reading this story proves them right. One by one the Vowel children--Alan, Ellen, Iris, Otto, Ursula--are born, and the family becomes easier to understand. Aunt Cyndy saves the day when Otto gets lost. Exaggerated illustrations, kept in check with a muted palette, round out the tale.
