No Reading Allowed by Raj Haldar & Chris Carpenter, illustrated by Bryce Gladfelter

You can’t believe everything you hear! A single word can have many different meanings. And sometimes two words that sound alike can be spelled completely differently. Ptolemy the pterodactyl is back to show us all how absurd and fun language can be when homophones, homonyms, and tricky punctuation are at play!

This No Reading Allowed educator guide allows children and their parents to laugh together while also learning something new.
