The Vowel Family: A Tale of Lost Letters

Exactly as stated

Super hard to read because the vowels in all the words are missing.

My class has loved this story. I used it when introducing different vowel combinations. They have asked me to read it time and time again!

good joib

We bought this book at a local literature festival, where we also had the opportunity to get the book signed by the author and illustrator. It was a great experience for my six-year-old, who didn't know what authors looked like (regular people in glasses, in case you were wondering.) The book is great fun, about a man and woman who marry but don't have any vowels so th cnt cmmnct vr wll. Things improve when allan and ellen are born, and on it goes. There are many clever phrases, and a good mix of simple and complicated words. Adults may be needed to decode the early parts of the book, which my proficient six-year-old reader stumbled on due to lack of vowels. Bright and cute illustrations. Great book, I highly recommend.

Worst book. I couldn't even read it.

Great

My daughter's preschool teacher recommended this book but actually I find it to be more confusing than educational. It is NOT a book you would want your child to follow along and trying to make sense of the sentences without the vowels is unnerving. I think it appeals more to adults than actually being educational for young pre- and emerging readers.
