No Reading Allowed: The Worst Read-Aloud Book Ever
by Raj Haldar, Chris Carpenter, and Bryce Gladfelter
Kids Book of the Week , January 4, 2021
We know what a homonym is, those words that amusingly sound alike, but what do you call it when it's a whole sentence? Haldar, Carpenter, and Gladfelter, authors of the witty P Is for Pterodactyl, have raised their wordplay game in their second book to an entirely new level (with illustrations to match), from "Sir Francis Bacon" / "Sir, France is bakin!" to "The new deli clark runs a pretty sorry store" / "The New Delhi clerk runs a pretty sari store." A delightful celebration of the flexibility and inclusiveness of the English language.
