P Is for Pterodactyl The Worst Alphabet Book Ever Raj Haldar Chris Carpenter Maria Beddia 0760789274367 Books Reviews

• Loved the idea. However it uses Ouija boards for "O", with matching illustrations and description. There is no way to have known about this subject matter when I ordered, I was startled to see it in a children's alphabet book. So I wanted to write a review sharing this information for other christian families who avoid such things. I'll be returning the book.
• The overall idea is hilarious, and I bought three as gifts for my nephews. However, I didn't know it contained "O is for Ouija" before I purchased the book. In my opinion, I don't think that content is appropriate for kids, so I returned all three copies. I would have kept them if that page was on another topic, so if it doesn't bother you, then you'll likely enjoy this book.
• I've long thought that the poor correlation of the sound of English words to their spelling needed to be highlighted. This humorous book does a great job of lampooning word initial sounds versus word initial letters. It should be a required textbook for all ESL classes!
• This book is hilarious!! What a great way to make kids feel good about learning! It shows you that language is hard and encourages you to laugh about the hard stuff and not feel bad that it's hard. Teaching kids with humor - who'dha thunk it works?! Buy one for every child and adult on your list. You will officially be the coolest gift giver ever.
• This book was a hoot to read. Even as a college grad there were new words for me to learn. In the back was a dictionary of the new words, how to say them, and what they meant. Great for adults as a laugh or for children to learn so of the quirks of the English language.
• Great book! My kids love it 7 and 11. Encourages conversation about the words used in the book. Fantastic illustration. Both kids took the book to school and their teachers loved it! Highly recommend. Planning on giving a few as gifts. Great book for all ages.
• I worried this would be a great idea badly executed, but they really delivered a good book and put effort into it instead of just phoning it in. It’s worth the money just for the novelty, but it does actually help my 9 year old with silent letters too
• I was so excited about this book that I pre-ordered it, and had no way of knowing what was inside. I was heartbroken that it mentions a Ouija board in a lighthearted, jovial manner (not like a dictionary which simply tells what it is), while a French man says "oui, oui," to a witch, that he'd love to play the Ouija board with her. Also, the pterodactyl is a psychic - again, no way of knowing this without actually seeing the book. I returned it.
