Queenie’s Review
Letter K has personality and wants to stand out and stand up. She is tired of the same old thing and she wants change. This picture book is also interactive and engaging for the younger children. It lets them use their imagination. I love how the author took the letters of her name and they were her first friends out of the alphabet line. I really enjoyed the story. The illustrations were colorful, entertaining, and detailed. The illustrations with the story. At the end are some coloring pages to go with the book. I give this book five stars.
