Grandpa brings a box of wooden letters for Minki to practice her ABCs. He spells out words and Minki picks out the letters from the set. She enjoys doing this except that she isn’t able to tell p and q apart. So when Grandpa spells out p-i-g, she picks q, i, and g. For q-u-e-e-n she picks p,u,e,e,n and for q-u-i-l-t, she takes out the letters p,u,i,l,t.
Because Minki has so much trouble with p and q, she throws them out of the window. This annoys p and q. They stomp away to Word Fairy and announce they are never going back.
With p and q missing, many words become meaningless. Now nobody can say ‘please’ because it has turned into ‘lease.’ The police station and the post office can’t function and the queen must go into hiding!
Which is p and Which is q? is a fun story about an important issue.

We received this book to give an honest review.

Young kids who are learning their letters do get certain letters mixed up. In this story Minki gets p and q mixed up and this makes her mad. So when she throws the two letters out they run to the Word Fairy and lets her know they won't go back. You may never know how many words use p and q until you start really thinking, and Minki learns that she needs those letters to complete words! 

A and I had a blast with trying to say and come up with words that have the letters p and q either in them or start with the letters. She is at the age that she does get some letters backwards so it was neat for her to see that it just isn't her. Though we can practice our letters and learn them. 

The illustrations were great and went with the story being told.
