The Alphabet: how Pine Cone and Pepper Pot (with the help of Tiptoes Lightly and Farmer John) learned Tom Nutcracker and June Berry their letters

We are loving this book, brilliant stories for learning letters :)

This sentence drives me nuts "how Pine Cone and Pepper Pot (with the help of Tiptoes Lightly and Farmer John) learned Tom Nutcracker and June Berry their letters". Whether 'how Pine Cone and Pepper Pot learned Tom ...their letters' is vaguely acceptable or not, it definitely sets the tone for the whole book as a tone of irritation! Unfortunately. Perhaps it is this entrenched bad beginning that then spreads a bad taste throughout that one then can't escape from. It could be felt as irony, that learning the alphabet is the rudimentary step of learning English beautifully and "how Pine Cone and Pepper Pot ... learned ..Tom Nutcracker and June Berry their letters" is far far indeed from beautiful language. I think the author should succumb to the several complaints and queries and change this baggy quirk.

While this book might help with stories for the letters and the forming of the letters, it does not help with learning letter sounds at all. Rather disappointed.
