BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Q and U are friends, just like T and H. They did everything together: making a quilt, having a quest, but U has other friends, Q does not. When U is playing with S (us) Q feels left out. Eventually they take some time apart. All the other letters think alone time would be great, but soon realize they need each other, especially Q & U. 

Oh, this is a darling story - so cute and a great example of all the blended letters we use in English. The illustrations are busy and fun. The letters have such great personalities. I like that the text shows the blended letters in red so they are easy to notice. I would love to read this with a class. How fun to think of other words with similar blends. So much fun.
