You should check out the book Eunoia. It�s by a Canadian author, Christian Bok, and each chapter uses only one vowel throughout the whole chapter. Check out this link http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7697000/7697762.stm
There are extracts from each chapter here - I can�t begin to imagine how long it would have taken to write |

Thank you kaz76... It is very interesting... in fact "eunoia" is the shortest word in English containing all five vowels - and it means "beautiful thinking".
In the link you provided it says that it took the author seven years to write his book! Amazing!
I was just thinking... it could perfectly be used to teach students phonetics, pronunciation, to work on spelling... A great source for that...
Thank you again!
