Sept. 1998 Scholastic oversize 3-staple softcover, 14th printing. Priscilla Turner (Among the Odds & A Tale of Adventure). U without N? Q without U? Mpssh! you say. Yet once, long ago, Ps and Qs minded their ps and qs, and though U and I deserved not one iota of respect. For their part, Vowels knew only that the dot on the youngest i was far moe important than the most capital W. And so they came to wage a fierce war to prove who were the better letters. But as Ss outflank Es and Os surround Hs, an enemy of all the alphabet appears on the horizon--one which neither Vowels or Consonants can conquer alone. In this hilarious look at the hidden life of letters, Priscilla and Whitney Turner reveal how sworn enemies become allies and discovered what you and I now take for that the pen is mightier than the sword. - Amazon
