Eats More, Shoots & Leaves: Why, All Punctuation Marks Matter!

Laugh your way to punctuation perfection with this pocket-sized paperback compendium of the hilariously illustrated #1 New York Times bestselling series. Clever side-by-side illustrations show how punctuation placement makes a huge difference in the meaning of a sentence. Imagine this without the middle period and the comma: “”The king walked and talked. A half hour after, his head was cut off.”” Oh no–a beheaded king that can still walk and talk! You might want to eat a huge hot dog, but a huge, hot dog would run away pretty quickly if you tried to take a bite out of him. Scenes from all three of Lynne Truss and Bonnie Timmons’s best-selling punctuation picture books ( Eats, Shoots & Leaves , The Girl’s Like Spaghetti , and Twenty-Odd Ducks ) highlight the important jobs of commas, apostrophes, hyphens, quotation marks, and more in this humorous punctuation primer. “”Wordplay or ‘grammarplay’ at its finest.”” — School Library Journal – ASIN: 1984815741 | ISBN13: 9781984815743 | ISBN-13: 978-1984815743
