An desertcart Best Book of the Month! 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! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 11.26 x 0.35 x 8.74 inches | | Grade Level | Preschool - 3 | | Isbn 10 | 1492674311 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1492674313 | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Language | English | | Print Length | 40 pages | | Publication Date | November 13, 2018 | | Publisher | Sourcebooks Explore | | Reading Age | 2+ years, from customers | ## Images ![P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81O9EWOoFPL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Proof that phonics instruction alone is not enough! *by on Reviewed in the United States May 1, 2024* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun for all ages *by on Reviewed in the United States April 20, 2026* This is a great book for older kids to read to little siblings! Lots of laughs had by all! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for a dry sense of humor! *by on Reviewed in the United States January 18, 2026* Hilarious educational book. And when I say educational, it’s potentially educational for both kids AND adults. Let’s be honest, the English language is hard!Perfect for gifting to parents of wit, and a healthy sense of humor. And in reality, these kids will need to learn these words eventually, so why not make it fun.As for the book itself, it has regular paper pages which — I learned as a childless adult — is not intended for toddlers, as they may rip out the pages. But I suppose that makes sense, as I don’t anticipate a 2 year old to appreciate this book as much as an older child. ## Frequently Bought Together - P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever - There Are Moms Way Worse Than You: Irrefutable Proof That You Are Indeed a Fantastic Parent - Go the Fuck to Sleep (Go the F to Sleep) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/84262887-p-is-for-pterodactyl-the-worst-alphabet-book-ever](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/84262887-p-is-for-pterodactyl-the-worst-alphabet-book-ever) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
