Martha's family is in for a surprise when they feed her some left over alphabet soup! She starts speaking as the letters went directly to her brain instead of her tummy. She gets fed a can every day and the family finds that Martha speaks her mind. They have to explain that you cannot say everything you think...until they tell her "Martha Shut up!" and she does. When someone breaks into their home she calls the police and realizes only woofs and barks come out. She goes to the kitchen growling and barking. The criminal tries to quiet her and places a pot of alphabet soup on the floor thinking he will keep her quiet...you'll have to read the story to find out the ending. I like the drawings of Martha because they remind me of my woof.
Another member had sent me a message about the book noted they did not like the part where they tell Martha to shut up. However, the book can be used to show why we don't say that to others and use please be quiet. I enjoyed the book and would still read it to my grandchildren and explain why we don't always say everything we think and why we don't say "shut up" to someone.
