Books like The Wonderful O

This book was one of my favorites when I was about eight, and I read it innumerable times. I can still remember many passages verbatim. In case you don't know it, here is a brief summary of the plot. Two disreputable pirates, Black and Littlejack, arrive at the island of Ooroo. They have reason to believe that a fabulous treasure is buried there. They also have an insane hatred of the letter O.They proceed to search for the treasure, and also to ban everything that contains an O in its name: clocks, dogs, boxes, whatever. The terrified inhabitants of the island are forced to speak an O-less language. They plan a revolt (or possibly a rebellion or a revolution). One of the theoretical questions which occupies their spare time is that of determining what the most important of the banned O-words is. Is it 'love' or 'honour' or 'valour'?In the end, they win their fight, and they realize that, great as all these words are, none of them was the greatest.The greatest O-word is FREEDOM.This work by Manny is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License
