A new, hilarious picture book for kids from the #1 New York Times
bestselling authors of P IS FOR PTERODACTYL! What makes this
picture book for kids be THE WORST read aloud book ever? Try
reading these sentences aloud: The mummy prepared farro for dinner.
The mummy prepared pharaoh for dinner. Sounds the same, right? But
they're totally different! Kids will laugh at the irreverent, super
silly humor and witty illustrations that provide context clues and
help explain the outrageous sentences. While kids are cracking up
at you repeating yourself, they also will be learning about
homonyms and homophones! There's also a glossary to help explain
the sound-alike words. This hysterical book for kids is sure to
delight parents, teachers, and anyone who loves to laugh at the
absurdity of the English language. "Those who love wordplay are the
natural constituency for No Reading Allowed: The Worst Read-Aloud
Book Ever, a picture book that's bright with comic scenes... [and]
brilliant pairings of picture and word (and word with word)."-The
Wall Street Journal "If you're a logophile (=word nerd), grammar
geek, or a bookworm, and especially, if you're a teacher or
homeschooler, snag a copy of No Reading Allowed for yourself and a
friend. This will be a hot holiday gift for us word nerd
folks!"-Imagination Soup
A New York Times Bestseller! A "raucous trip through the odd
corners of our alphabet." -The New York Times 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!
This whimsical, funky book from Raj Haldar (aka rapper Lushlife)
turns the traditional idea of an alphabet book on its head, poking
fun at the most mischievous words in the English language and
demonstrating how to pronounce them. Fun and informative for word
nerds of all ages!
