Kids will love the clever word play in this adorable friendship story。 The bright illustrations match the text perfectly。 The letters and letter combinations are highlighted to help the youngest readers identify them。 I can see this book being enjoyed both at home and in the classroom。 Bravo！

In overall appeal， this is a story of soulmates， a perfect pair， two who are meant for each other。 When jealousy and resentment， differing needs， and general misunderstandings develop， real conflict and eventual resolution follow a strong story arc。 The fact that these "characters" are actual letter characters only makes the story （and analogy） all the more appealing。 Wade's word play， strong secondary stories， and ultimate resolve are grin-worthy and provide rich resources for teachers， parent In overall appeal， this is a story of soulmates， a perfect pair， two who are meant for each other。 When jealousy and resentment， differing needs， and general misunderstandings develop， real conflict and eventual resolution follow a strong story arc。 The fact that these "characters" are actual letter characters only makes the story （and analogy） all the more appealing。 Wade's word play， strong secondary stories， and ultimate resolve are grin-worthy and provide rich resources for teachers， parents， and kids who want to explore the many ways in which our English alphabet relies on teamwork， flexibility， and careful attention。 The very real emotional landscape suits young readers perfectly， ones who struggle with sharing （or making） friendships and setting boundaries without offending。Martin's illustrations place these dynamic letter folks in a subtle virtual life in which everyday play and problems are confronted with kid-friendly reactions， conveyed through remarkably expressive eyes and line-mouths， activated only by stick arms and a pair of legs each。 Using those limited elements， their adept application opens fully-lived lives in this colorful and dynamic world of letters。 。。。more

This is such a clever book！ A story about best friends Q and U， who are a “sQUad” and do everything together， until the day U realizes she doesn’t need Q as much as he needs her。 As U makes friends with the other letters， Q begins to feel very sad and left out。 U then needs some own time， leading to other letters taking breaks and chaos ensues， but happily Q and U come together to save the day。 Friendships are such a difficult thing for children to navigate at times， and this book captures the u This is such a clever book！ A story about best friends Q and U， who are a “sQUad” and do everything together， until the day U realizes she doesn’t need Q as much as he needs her。 As U makes friends with the other letters， Q begins to feel very sad and left out。 U then needs some own time， leading to other letters taking breaks and chaos ensues， but happily Q and U come together to save the day。 Friendships are such a difficult thing for children to navigate at times， and this book captures the ups and downs so very well， and is a brilliant phonics lesson all at the same time！！ 。。。more

A witty and quirky exploration of the relationships between letters in the English language， with comical illustrations。 This book can certainly be used to encourage discussion about letters that that can go together such as digraphs and trigraphs。

Q & U call it quits is a charming story about friendship written by Stef Wade。 I love the play on words and letters。 Especially when Q tries to befriend other letters but can’t quite make it work。 I love how the illustrator， Jorge Martin， brought life to the letters with their fun shoes， hairstyles and expressions。

This book is adorable！ The theme of friendship is explored in a wholly unique way while also providing an excellent study on language。 Each page offers a twist or a joke or an unexpected moment of "awwww" - hooking you from the very first moment to the last。 This is an easy favorite for readers young and old （and a must-have for all educators）。 This book is adorable！ The theme of friendship is explored in a wholly unique way while also providing an excellent study on language。 Each page offers a twist or a joke or an unexpected moment of "awwww" - hooking you from the very first moment to the last。 This is an easy favorite for readers young and old （and a must-have for all educators）。 。。。more
