The Alphabet Supremacy takes alphabetical chaos to a whole new level by featuring words that refuse to play by the rules, from sneaky silent letters to pronunciation nightmares that make kids howl with laughter.

If your kid loves the silly wordplay of "The Book With No Pictures" or enjoys cracking language codes, they'll be hooked on this alphabet-defying adventure. Perfect for ages 4-7 in grades K-2, especially kids who think regular alphabet books are too tame.
