P Is for Pterodactyl The Hilarious Alphabet Adventure

If it weren't for English, we wouldn't have classics like Romeo & Juliet, East of Eden, The Gettysburg Address, or "The Humpty Dance." However, let's cut English some slack. I'm suggesting you go ahead and purchase P Is for Pterodactyl and have a good laugh.

Without it, we wouldn't have Romeo & Juliet, East of Eden, The Gettysburg Address, or "The Humpty Dance." But give English a break. I'm just saying, go ahead and buy P Is for Pterodactyl, and have a chuckle. They may in fact be English language anomalies, whose etymologies I don't feel like looking up right now, like gnat, knight, aisle, and aeons. And czar (plus its alternative spelling tsar) and tsunami take their trickster roots from Russian and Japanese. Most of the words in P Is for Pterodactyl aren't English by birth. Pterodactyl has Greek smeared all over it. But, come on. I guess it accomplishes both, but, probably also to be funny. The book's purpose is to show how whacked out the English language is. Huh? "P is also for... ter-a-dac-til. Tuh, tuh, pterodactyl." "P is for peeech. Puh, puh, peach. P." pairing the letters of the alphabet with words that defy the typical intent of alphabet books as teaching tools for our kids, Raj Halder and Chris Carpenter take a jab or two (or 26) at the English language in P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever.
