The mysterious letter Y visits the Kingdom of Consonants to learn about this strange place. But, when Y escapes to the Land of Vowels with a royal prisoner, the consonant king declares war. Y must work with both consonants and vowels to bring peace between the two. Readers will learn common consonant sounds, various types of consonants, long and short vowels, and more! The Building Blocks of English series helps readers master the fundamentals of the English language--from individual letters to advanced reading and writing skills--through fun and engaging graphic storytelling. Play-along questions make readers part of the story, and "show what you know" tests reinforce what they've learned.
