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!
The playground is buzzing with consonants—but something’s missing.
When the vowels hesitate to join the fun, the consonants quickly discover they can’t form words without them! With a little encouragement from the versatile letter y, the vowels step in and bring language to life.
Red Rover, Red Rover, Send a Vowel Over is a joyful celebration of teamwork, inclusion, and the essential role vowels play in communication. With whimsical illustrations and clever wordplay, this book helps young readers understand vowel sounds and word formation while building confidence and curiosity.
