This is an actual kids book based off that joke. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1492674311
I got it for my nephew and he LOVES it, but his parents hate it because they don't want to confuse him (he's 3 and just learning letters now), so they have to fuck with it when they read it to him. It's not an alphabet book for him, it's just pictures and words.
Little known fact, Fred Gwynne was also a successful writer and illustrator with a clever sense of humor. My son and I love "A Chocolate Moose for Dinner."

Edit: damn, a bunch of negative reviews from uptight Christians because O is for Ouija, being used by a witch from Oaxaca, and the pterodactyl is a psychic. 😆
They also seem to think it's a children's book. It isn't, not really.
Then buy it. It's only 8 bucks. Support the people who made it.
Did you know Amazon will donate a portion of every purchase if you shop by going to smile.amazon.com instead? Over $50,000,000 has been raised for charity - all you need to do is change the URL!

If you have young kids learning to read, "P is for Pterodactyl" would be a fun one, just because...pictures and alphabet book.
There needs to be a advertisement link on that page to this book https://www.amazon.com/Pterodactyl-Worst-Alphabet-Book-Ever/dp/1492674311
I took a book called "the worst alphabet book ever" once. A is for aisle, B is for bdellium. I usually add food as well, since everyone likes food. This year I'm taking "all my friends are dead" and a dinosaur grabber toy.
This reminds me of P is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever.
The letter X is shown wrong in so many alphabet strips. X is for xylophone is misleading and confuses kids. The x in xylophone makes the /z/ sounds. But the x sound is really a /ks/ like fox, box, axe, etc. My favorite video/song to teach letter sounds is Phonics Song 2. For x, they say “x is for box, /ks/ /ks/ box.
If that's what you think passes for clever or witty, you're only enforcing that you know nothing about good writing.
As humans, we are pattern-seekers. The internet has only made it easier to seek out confirmation bias of any pattern we can imagine.
I think you should check out Innumeracy by John Allen Paulos. He is a math professor who did a great job explaining how we can find patterns/coincidences anywhere we look, and how they aren't as "miraculous" as the church might lead you to believe. It's a good read and you can get it used for like 4 bucks.
When just goofing around with friends (i.e., don't do this when you're actually interacting with a business/medical provider), you can use this alphabet instead:

Most of us can’t wrap our brain around huge numbers like this. This is a great book that dives into that:
My very last day of work I am going to dispatch a radio channel using these phonetics...
The book is titled "P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever".
It's great, C is for Czar, T as in Tsunami, etc...

Shuffle a deck of 52 cards and then draw 5. The odds of you drawing those 5 specific cards was approximately 1 in 2.5 million, and yet it happens every time.
You can keep fallaciously playing with numbers to make certain events seem impossible, or you can do yourself a huge favor by picking up a little book called Innumeracy and reading it
do you think the deaths in the trails of tears were the extent of the ethnic cleansing committed by the US govt?
maybe start here its an oldie but a goodie https://www.amazon.com/Bury-My-Heart-Wounded-Knee/dp/0805086846?ref_=d6k_applink_bb_dls&dplnkId=7f423571-7a5b-43b6-acc8-50c4cfd65d7d
Not a lot of them, small denominator, and of those who do, many drink.
It's a shame what happened to them. Look into their history, it's really fascinating and relevant to Asian Americans.
I'm reading this now:

When the white man came, they were helpful to the white man, generous, said "it's ok, we'll share." But the white man kept claiming more and more of their territories, offering them treaties, then straight up breaking them.
The white man would take advantage of divisions in their communities, side with one to beat the other, and then defeat the tribe that remained.
Some of the white men would take Native wives. The dynamics are sort of the same with Asians. Some of the men who married native women were the second-rate, less-desirable, small white men. They were kind of the weebs, sympathetic to Natives. Other Native women married white men and were used as go-betweens as the whites tried to subjugate the Natives.
Some of the Natives had half-breed sons, who sided with the white man and were used to make inroads to destroying the red man. All along, the red man was pretty laidback, trusting the white man, not making a big deal about divisions until it was too late.
Some of the Natives accepted their second-class status and tried hard to prove themselves to the white man. Ely S. Parker, the first Native American to hold the post of U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs, reminded me of the path of a lot of Asian Americans.
He gave up his name, converted to Christianity. Prevented from taking the Bar Exam because of his race, became an excellent civil engineer. Mocked for his lack of English as a boy, he learned to speak and wrote English so well that he was asked to draft some of the key documents at the end of the civil war.
Do you think Edmonton and Calgary are not in Canada? Because, you know, when they say "number of affordable cities in Canada: ZERO" that is INCLUSIVE of those two cities as well.
Do you need me to hook you up with resources on literacy?
Just wanted to add that Fred Gwynne is also the author of two of my all-time favorite children's books—A Chocolate Moose for Dinner and The King Who Reigned. They're from the perspective of a child who tries to make sense of confusing adult wordplay. She'd say, "Daddy says lions pray on other animals," and then there'd be an illustration of lions literally praying on top of zebras and rhinos.
My fourth grade teacher read that book to me in 1994 and I loved it so much I bought it from the book order. I still own it and read it to my fourth and fifth grade classes every year. They love it. I finally got down to Googling the author only to realize he was Herman Munster and the judge from My Cousin Vinny. A man of many talents.
No, i told you what the problem was.
Eat the book, or read the wiki if you're having trouble figuring it out.
Else, i imagine this would better suit your tastes
If you can spare 10 dollars, I strongly suggest picking up the book Innumeracy by John Allen Paulos. He’s a math professor who very effectively explains how probability calculations get used incorrectly, with these Meyer calculations being a prime example.

The only time I got into secret santa was when I was a teacher. In the 3 years I was teaching A-level I had a Law teacher, an English Teacher, and a Health and Social Care teacher.
For the Law teacher I got a book of crazy legal cases throughout UK history. For the English teacher I got P is for Pterodactyl. For the HS+C teacher a little context to explain: She was on the Chase, she did great on the cash builder, like 9 or 10 grand, but got caught by the chaser. The question that got her caught was about which person said a particular quote. So I made a mock up of one of those images you see online where the quote is with a picture of the wrong person, who is identified as the wrong person. To go with that I gave them the Chase Card game, with a note to practice a bit more, and a handwritten link to the best quote from my favourite christmas movie:
I can't find your booklist in any recent posts but if it isn't already on there, I would suggest The Number Devil.
Define "KIDS". How and what students are taught should definitely expand as they get older. As a junior in high school, for example, my history teacher gave me Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee to read for a book report. Most definitely NOT the "fairy tale" version of American history.
