This book identifies the letters D and R, as well as sight words "up", "down", "left" and "right". The setting is on Metaphor Mountain and there are metaphors highlighted in color and used within the story. The daring letter D finds himself in a jam as he is stuck hanging from a tree by his backpack while hiking. As he is swinging left and right he ponders his situation. Much to his relief, the reliable letter R arrives on the scene and uses a clever, yet simple, idea to save the day.
