P is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever by Raj Haldar     40 pages

This book is hilarious!  At least for adults.  The English language has words with silent first letters like xylophone, oppossum,  knot, aisle, pterodactyl and so many more.   It is a wonder any of us learn to spell much less pronounce words correctly but that is part of the joy and wonder about this wonderful language of ours - there are surprises to keep us on our toes.   The book is like that all the way through and is really fun I think.   I recommend this book from birth to 9 year olds, and to adults, but, I think adults will truly find the humor in it.  Kids may be like, huh?  Say what?   Adults will be like, True!  True!  So true!  Hilarious!
