Used. Hardcover. If you’ve ever wondered why the English language insists on spelling *knight* with a cowardly *k* and *pterodactyl* with a silent *p*, this brilliant little picture book is here to validate your linguistic bewilderment. Raj Haldar and Chris Carpenter gleefully guide readers through a phonetic labyrinth where homonyms happily haunt you and orthography goes entirely off the rails. It is an alphabet book with attitude, perfectly primed to terrorize traditional teachers while delighting clever kids and grammar nerds alike. Grab a copy before your vocabulary takes a flying leap off a very silent ledge.
