"This atypical alphabet book humorously addresses "mischievous
words" that ignore the rules of phonetics and spelling... Each
letter's sample is illustrated with cartoony, full-color drawings
followed by a comically absurd sentence highlighting other
examples. "G is for Gnocchi. / The gnome yells, 'Waiter! There's a
bright white gnat nibbling on my gnocchi!' ...the concept will help
new readers and new English language learners conquer some of the
more peculiar aspects of our language." - Kirkus Reviews
"Explore the many quirks and anomalies of English spelling and
pronunciation in an A-to-Z tribute to some of the most
unconventional words in the lexicon. Learn why Y is not for "why"
and U is not for "you," but V is for "five" and C is for "czar."
With this book full of puns, alliteration, playful artwork, and
plenty of entertaining observations, children of all ages will
enjoy celebrating the exceptions to the rules." - Foreword Reviews,
STARRED Review
"A raucous trip through the odd corners of our alphabet." - The New
York Times
"Are you a logophile (someone who loves words)? If you are, this
delightful picture book will be your new favorite alphabet book...
In this book, 'A is for Aisle' and 'H is for Heir.' What? Below
each letter and illustration is a sentence describing each word. "M
is for Mnemonic. // But now Mr. M. can't remember why." Isn't this
a delight for readers and writers of all ages? It's my new
favorite." - Imagination Soup
"A win for word nerd kids and pun-tastic dads everywhere." - The
Dad
"The book spotlights words that have silent letters, or weird
grammar rules, and invites you to ponder dangerous word traps and
oddities. And you might learn something new along the way...While
other lessons teach really important principles that, honestly,
could change your life and maybe even help you find love." - Funny
or Die
""P Is for Pterodactyl" is a word lover's delight and an almost
mandatory read-aloud... Amid all the humor, wordplay, and
silliness, there's solid, brain-teasing information about words and
how they're spelled. It a delight from start to finish, especially
for word lovers and their offspring." - Common Sense Media
