The eight-year-old life is looking easy-peasy until Todd’s quirky Aunt Crystal gives him a birthday present way blander than plain six vowel-themed bath towels. Who wants to think about spelling in the shower? But when elf-sized elephants, umbrella-carrying unicorns, and a host of other vowel-inspired guests join him each time he uses a towel, Todd realizes learning about AEIOU & sometimes Y could have been his Aunt’s sneaky plan all along. Those bland vowel towels are also undeniably, outrageously, and indescribably the best birthday present ever!


This was a cute, fun book that’s full of imagination and magical nonsense. It all comes together in a sweet story of a young boy learning how to navigate being eight years old.
