Educational and funny
Enjoyed reading it, it was cute and educational languages are weird af. But it’s a good time and quick read is. 7.9/10 ⭐️

It's funny and makes a great gift for new parents
This is my go-to gift for friends/family who are new parents. It's funny, nicely illustrated, and is baby or child-themed but something for the parents themselves to enjoy...

Proof that phonics instruction alone is not enough!
I picked up this book as an end of semester thank you gift for my professor. I think P is for Pterodactyl is a tounge in cheek alphabet book that was the perfect thing to present to a teacher of literacy. This is a must have companion to other alphabet books. When people ask, "What about phonics instruction?" This book shows why phonics is not enough. It is simply one small part of literacy instruction. Funny, unconventional, and irreverent, you'll laugh and nod along as you read from A-Z! Very nicely priced too, about what you might spend on a high quality greeting card, but this is something that really has staying power. Plus, it can be used in the college classroom as an example of the importance of a multi-faceted approach to literacy instruction.

Absolutely Hilarious
The snippet of the book you get on Amazon is funny, but the book in its entirety is hilarious! I bought it for my nephew for his birthday and we had the whole family laughing. Definitely my go to children’s book to gift from now on 😂

Very fun book adults will like it
I enjoyed this fun book full of the oddities of English. It has a glossary in the back for weird words that one may have never heard of.

Clever idea
The perfect baby shower gift that promotes reading with a little bit of humor. My book arrived with the dust Cover somewhat bent up, giving it a used feel, So I ended up removing it and just giving the book without the dress cover

Funny as hell
This book was so funny! I highly recommend it! Mess with your kids after they already know how to read!

Hilarious and very clever
My niece has this for her eldest, loved it and bought it for a colleague’s nephew. Big hit with him. It’s a wonderful introduction to the fun complexities of English, with great illustrations. And educational too, of course, but it’s really more about FUN and silliness. Highly recommended for people growing up speaking English, might be a challenge for others.

This is a fun book about some of the quirks one finds in every-day English
I bought two copies - one for our household, and one for my sisters. I think they'll love it. Plenty of wordplay around the examples.

I like joke/parody books so this was perfect. I love the illustrations. This made for a great talking point at family dinner

The perfect book to confuse or entertain your friend’s 6 year olds!
The perfect book to confuse or entertain your friend’s 6 year olds! Not to mention to remind us the quirks of English language and chuckle.Once you’ve read this, I bet you’ll have a chuckle every time you see the cover.For fellow entomology nerds — this digs into the depths of your psyche and heaves out the skeletons from your phonic closet.

Not good packaged
It's a hard spine with a soft paper cover, just tossed in a thin cardboard protector, my paper cover was slightly bent/creased in some spots.
