Foreword Reviews gave P is for Pterodactyl a Starred Review!

9/24/2018

 
We are thrilled to share that Foreword Reviews has given P is for Pterodactyl by Raj Haldar and Chris Carpenter, illustrated by Maria Beddia, a starred review!
Picture
...children of all ages will enjoy celebrating the exceptions to the rules.
Read the full review in the November/December issue of Foreword Reviews.

Read more about P is for Pterodactyl:

From wacky words to peculiar pronunciations, get kids excited about language with this unconventional alphabet book from Raj Haldar (aka Lushlife).

Turning the traditional idea of an alphabet book on its head, P is for Pterodactyl is perfect for anyone who has ever been stumped by silent letters or confused by absurd homophones. This whimsical, unique book takes silent letter entries like “K is for Knight” a step further with “The noble knight’s knife nicked the knave’s knee.” Lively illustrations provide context clues, and alliterative words help readers navigate text like “a bright white gnat is gnawing on my gnocchi” with ease. Everyone from early learners to grown-up grammarians will love this wacky book where “A is for Aisle” but “Y is definitely not for Why.”

Better known by his stage name Lushlife, Raj Haldar is an American rapper, composer, and producer from Philadelphia, PA. This is his first book.
