![]() Her brother, Whitney Turner, does a great job with the artwork, crafting people out of letter shapes. She portrays the vowels as being more refined (we see them enjoying opera and croquet) and the consonants are a little rougher (they are fans of boxing and football). At first, they simply choose to distrust and dislike each other, but one day there’s a first strike from one side that is answered by the other and before you know it, both sides are at war.Īuthor Priscilla Turner plays around with her subject here, but never downplays the serious nature of war. It starts, as most wars do, with two groups who are enemies. It’s a fun story about a conflict between vowels and consonants. This book would have made a nice companion book to April’s month long celebration of alphabet books. ![]() ![]() Y’s were a family divided and some became spies. ![]()
