by Kate Petty
In this interactive pop-up book, teaching and learning punctuation are transformed into a fun, hands-on activity. Sliding tabs, lift-the-flap features, and fresh, bold illustrations are sure to engage kids and help them understand the basic rules of punctuation. Wacky unpunctuated sentences will have kids laughing as they learn to recognize the correct use of every punctuation mark. Playful quizzes -- and helpful hints from different animals on each page -- make this book a perfect learning tool in the classroom and at home.
by Lynne Truss (2006)
Truss's picture-book version of her adult bestseller tackles the topic of commas and what can go wrong when they are misused. Versions of two identically worded sentences are presented side by side, demonstrating the difference in meaning achieved when a comma is added or subtracted. The author cleverly selects examples with the potential for comical (and grammatically correct) revisions. Timmons's humorous watercolor cartoons bring the point home. (School Library Journal)
