Catchy songs, videos and cartoon will even help you  refresh your own basics of the silent E saying it’s name, the sounds that W makes.

Quick Snapshot: Lions Theo and Cleo, along with their young cubs Lionel and Leona, run a very unique library. Characters pop off the pages of the books and come to life; vowels sing and puppets dance. The young lions explore and learn all sorts of new things from all the books.
