The letter D (Dee) thinks she is the most important letter in the alphabet because so many words start with her letter. But, Apostrofee thinks he is very important because he can shorten words. If he eats the 'o' in Do not, he gets Don't. Eventually, with all the demonstrating, he's eaten too many and ends up in the sky with gas.
This is a very silly book, and a cute example for how to use an apostrophe, however, Apostrofee doesn't follow the rules, and eliminates whatever letters he wants (D'lish, Peace 'n' Harmony, d'ssert etc.) While I applaud the effort and the energy - it just goes a bit too far. There are enough exceptions to the rules already. Also, why spell Apostrophe like that?
