(3) K-3 Illustrated by Andy Rash. "Once upon a refrigerator, the letters of the alphabet gathered together to tell a story." Thus begins a quarrel between K and C--each sure the other has stolen its sound--that threatens to make storytelling impossible ("There wouldn't be any SMOCKS or BLOCKS! No STICKS or LICKS!"). The silly plot effectively highlights several consonant sound combinations, which illustrations of letter magnets on a fridge reinforce.
