Q, q is for Quarrelsome Queen
This week we met the Quarrelsome Queen from Letterland. We learned that being quarrelsome means to get into fights. When the queen needs to calm down, she sits in her circular, quiet room on a little seat (the capital letter Q). We also learned that the queen never goes anywhere without her umbrella, since q and u always go together.
