My dd thought the obvious would be The Umbrella by Jan Brett, but I'm going to make my selection a sweet book for boys and their daddys:

Up on Daddy's Shoulders by Matt Berry

Very sweet and nice illustrations. A favorite with my little guys .

Edward the Emu by Sheena Knowles and Rod Clement


Let me just say, I'm going to give you an award, Marybeth - you named a book that ended in a "U"!!!!! Do you know how rare that is??? I was at the library today looking at titles because I had realized some letters are just not going to be used because they are rare at the end of words - "U" was one of them, also "I" or "O" unless you're speaking Italian or Spanish . The most common ending letters by my estimation are A, E, D, N, R, S, T which if you look at our selections so far bears out. A lot of the others can be found fairly frequently - G, H, M, Y. But a few are going to be really tough (and I'm not just talking about Q, V, etc.) By the way, a lot more words end with X than start with it!

"J" is really hard and you wouldn't think that until you start trying to think of words that end in J. V and C also - not so common as endings.

So that's my evening rambling...

So, Mary, you did a lot more thinking on that, but I was mulling over the same problem -- how there aren't that many words with those endings, and how to incorporate some of the other letters that will never come up!

I'll take this one and give a title that ends in a letter we haven't had yet.

Sheep in a Jeep - Nancy Shaw

Now a "P".

In order to get other letters in, we could make silent E's optional, so in the case of One Morning in Maine, we could go with N or E?

I have a feeling there will be a lot of silent Es.

That is a brilliant idea, Lindsay. So let's go with silent "e" is optional - use it if you want or use the letter before it. Hey, we might actually be able to find a J of V that way .

I love that book - would have chosen it for "T" also.

And now I'll implement the silent "e" rule and go with "K" here.

"You" - totally a common word that ends in "U" - how did I forget that one??     

Speaking of squirrel lovers...I am NOT one at all, in fact I would be the opposite..but gosh darn it there are so many cute squirrel books. Melinda, I think we need a thread for those...
