Illustrated by
Lynn Rowe Reed.
Following Punctuation Takes a Vacation and Nouns and Verbs Have a Field Day, silent letters make themselves heard. Frustrated with these reticent letters, Mr. Wright's students e-mail the newspaper to propose banning them. Playful design points up silent letters within the text, and the faux-naive mixed-media illustrations give both human and letter characters lots of personality.
