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.
