Product Description
by Debbie Barry (Author)
"Peter Piper, without Pretension to Precocity or Profoundness, Puts Pen to Paper to Produce these Puzzling Pages, Purposely to Please the Palates of Pretty Prattling Playfellows, Proudly Presuming that with Proper Penetration it will Probably, and Perhaps Positively, Prove a Peculiarly Pleasant and Profitable Path to Proper, Plain and Precise Pronunciation. "He Prays Parents to Purchase this Playful Performance, Partly to Pay him for his Patience and Pains; Partly to Provide for the Printers and Publishers; but Principally to Prevent the Pernicious Prevalence of Perverse Pronunciation." Parents and children alike will delight at this recreation of the 1836 book that launched the famously popular Peter Piper on his career of picking pickled peppers by the peck. Along with his alliterative companions, Peter Piper provides a full alphabet of challenging tongue twisters, which will still appeal to the current generation. Illustrated with digital reproductions of the original woodcuts, this is a book every family will enjoy.
