No Reading Allowed for yourself and a friend. This will be a hot
holiday gift for us word nerd folks!" - Imagination Soup

illustrations." - Laughing Squid

"Assuming you've spent the last two years coming to grips with the
fact that the ABC's are a scam (if you haven't, take your time,
it's a lot to process), you're ready to move onto this next volume
of mandatory reading, No Reading Allowed... So to make sure you and
yours are equipped for all the silly sound-the-same sentences out
there, grab this super-serious manual and study it hard! Because
what you think you heard there might just be that ewe herd, there."
