 P Is for Pterodactyl

Let’s get real—the English language is bizarre. A might be for apple, but it’s also for aisle and aeons. Why does the word “gnat” start with a G but the word “knot” doesn’t start with an N? It doesn’t always make sense, but don’t let these rule-breaking silent letters defeat you!

Description

 P Is for Pterodactyl

Here’s a detailed summary of “P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever” by Raj Haldar and Chris Carpenter, published November 13, 2018:

This clever and hilarious picture book turns the traditional alphabet book on its head by focusing on some of the most confusing and silent-letter-heavy words in the English language. P Is for Pterodactyl playfully highlights tricky spellings and surprising pronunciations, like the silent “P” in “pterodactyl” or the silent “K” in “knight.”

With witty, tongue-in-cheek humor and quirky illustrations by Maria Tina Beddia, the book makes learning the alphabet an entertaining challenge for kids—and adults who remember struggling with English spelling. It’s perfect for readers who love wordplay, language quirks, and a good laugh.

Because it’s a picture book with bold and colorful art, it’s ideal for young readers and classrooms but also fun for older kids and anyone interested in the oddities of English.

Available in hardcover, it can also be found in ebook formats and sometimes as an audiobook. It’s a great choice for families looking to mix education and humor, or for anyone wanting to enjoy a fresh take on a classic concept Humor and Entertainment Books.
