Great kids book

"Great book. Not only to you get to be the 'fun uncle' you also get to teach about the fun of the english language :)"

Dd01 (5/5)

Great read for kids

"I love this book and how it uses the alphabet with words that don't make sense."

Chey (5/5)

Funny but maybe not for kids?

"I bought this for my nephew but decided not to gift it. It was super funny and a great concept, but some ideas were forced and I personally did not feel comfortable sharing something that introduced him to ""ouija"". I would have kept it for myself, but maybe not for all kids."

Becca (2/5)

Hilarious

"This is just great and it makes my love of languages happy. There is a pronunciation guide in the book too!"

MichelleMcConkey (5/5)

The English language is confusing. Why not confuse children right off the bat? 10/10

"A cheeky little book that both parents and children can enjoy. Granted the hilarity is lost on young children, but I’m sure my friends’ kids will appreciate it later on in life."

RoRo (5/5)

100% recommend

"This is the perfect books to break the ice at a family get together! Everyone loved it!"

Danielle (5/5)

Charming and fun

"Not quite what I expected, but fun and charming! I'd been working on a similar alphabet myself, and it's nice to see someone got it done!"

Elizabeth (4/5)

Great fun

"The book is good fun and even helps pronounce the words if you aren't familiar with any of them"

JOSH (5/5)

Alphabet Book

"I love how they have the pronunciations for all the silent lettered words in the back."

Alexandra (4/5)
