Silent Letters Loud and Clear

Praise

* “Pulver and Reed have once again managed to craft a book so clever and fun that both teachers and students alike will be enthralled . . . Knuckle down and purchase this book or teachers will make your lives wretched.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
 
“The playful design points up the silent letters within the text, and the faux-naive mixed-media illustrations give both human and letter characters lots of personality.”—The Horn Book
 
“Pulver and Rowe tackle another grammar lesson with humorous examples and whimsical illustrations. . . . The acrylic cartoon art floats in mid-air against a vivid blue background, yet the usage depicted in each example is clearly matched with the speech each letter is trying to make. This topic could have easily resulted in a didactic lesson, but the story line and examples of silent letters or letter pairs appearing in everyday words lighten the presentation.”—School Library Journal
