This book was an adorable way to teach the concept of the silent e to grade school students. The images were cute and colorful. I do think it would be helpful to somehow mention that the silent e often changes the previous vowel to a long vowel sound. That wasn't explained so this story would need to be read by a teacher to a student to explain exactly how the silent e is used. I will be using this story myself.

This book follows the letters at school again and this time specifically it follows little e. While he is silent, he is still important and is able to save the day.

This book was cute! I really like this series. It shows some grammar rules that are important for kids to learn and understand. It shows grammar in a fun way that is easy to understand.

The illustrations are also great! I think kids will continue to enjoy this one.

Thanks so much to netgalley and Familius for the arc of this one in exchange for an honest review!

Cute book about the silent e and how important are he silent e is when he returns and saves the day. As a 2nd grade student teacher I will definitely read this to my students.

Wonderfully written and illustrated book about the power of the letter e at the end of a word, such as cak (put in the e and it makes a tasty treat!). Very sprly written and drawn, with the e being a quiet superhero (with cape and all), I enjoyed the quick grammar lesson and it clicked with me (but I am almost 72). So, three cheers (lots of e's eh?) for the silent e! Nice to hear from you! Whee!
