Red Rover, Red Rover, Send a Vowel Over: A Picture Book about Vowel Sounds
Red Rover, Red Rover, Send a Vowel Over: A Picture Book about Vowel Sounds | Kimberlee Gard
1 post | 1 read
The newest addition to the Language is Fun series, this colorful picture book from award-winning author Kimberlee Gard and illustrator Sandie Sonke teaches children all about vowel sounds The vowels, little a, e, i, o, and u, know they are different from the other letters, so they hesitate to join in the playground games, but when the consonants try to form words, they realize just how impossible that is without the vowels. With some encouragement from little y, a letter who belongs to both groups, the vowels join the fun and use their sounds to make words we all love. With anthropomorphized letters as the characters and fun visualizations of words with and without their vowels, Red Rover, Red Rover, Send a Vowel Over is the perfect gift for teachers or parents of new readers!

3 ⭐I like the title better than I like the book. All the letters go play and the vowels feel left out. But through this game of red rover the consonants realize that they can‘t make words without the vowels, so they invite the vowels to play. Everybody plays and it‘s happily ever after. The idea of story is cute, but the execution is long. This could have been shortened and it would‘ve been 100 times better.
