From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of P is for Pterodactyl comes another hilarious, fresh look at the English language. Get ready to make the most unrhymable words rhyme and form the basis for rap.

Ptolemy the Pterodactyl loves to write rhyming poetry and rap. He's discovered that there are lots of tricky words in the English language like orange, gulf, and circus that don't rhyme with anything. But, using slant rhyme and internal rhyme, Ptolemy and his crew of hip-hop word nerds have figured out how to make the most unrhymable words rhyme. When you read this book, be sure to make up some zany rhymes of your own, and you'll be a rapper too!

About the Author

Raj Haldar is the author of the #1 New York Times Bestselling picture book, P is for Pterodactyl- The Worst Alphabet Book Ever. But, for close to a decade, he has been better known as Lushlife, the rapper, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. In that time, he's amassed a fervent global fanbase and released award-winning viral music videos that highlight his erudite lyrics. The Sunday New York Times describes his work as "an intoxicating mix of captivating rhymes with audacious, gorgeous production." So it should come as no surprise that Haldar has made the leap into the world of children's literature. His latest book entitled, This Book is Banned gives young readers a lighthearted entrypoint to begin understanding the dangers of book banning and censorship. His work has been featured by The Washington Post, Interview Magazine, VICE, Pitchfork, Village Voice, Mental Floss, BBC, SPIN and more! Raj currently lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his wife and two young daughters. https-//linktr.ee/lush.vida - Raj Haldar social media, music, books + more!
