The Mighty Silent E
Author: Kimberlee Gard
Illustrator: Sandie Sonke
Familius
Ages: 4-7
Little e is a cute little letter who knows he is a hero; after all, he comes from a long line of distinguished Es.
Now if only he can prove it. He has his cape at home and dreams of being a hero, but at school no one pays him any attention. Probably because he doesn’t have much to say.
Little e is a cute little letter who knows he is a hero; after all, he comes from a long line of distinguished Es.
Now if only he can prove it. He has his cape at home and dreams of being a hero, but at school no one pays him any attention. Probably because he doesn’t have much to say.
The other letters, an alphabet of rosy-cheeked, multicolored letters, don’t even notice when Little e isn’t at school one day. That is until the teacher asks the letters to join together to make words.
All of a sudden, they realize they can’t do much. Confusion sets in as the letters, try as they might, can not make the words sound right. Kit, cak, tabl, zon – nothing makes much sense.
Luckily, Little e was only a little late, and soon he was running around making all the words right. A great day for the Mighty Silent e!
This is a beautifully written and illustrated tale. Kids won’t notice the lessons in long and short vowels, all wrapped in a lovely story about being important, even when you’re the quiet one.
