Turns children on to the importance of punctuation

It's hard to believe that kids would get excited about punctuation. But they do, when they read this book. A third-grader teacher I know is reading it to her class, and the students love it. One girl enthusiastically explained to me how that little tiny mark known as the comma distinguishes between something you eat at a baseball game and a furry friend who just over-exercised ("big hotdog" versus "big, hot dog"). This is the kids' version of the adult bestseller, and I highly recommend it.

Kids love it

Our grandchildren range from 5 to 9 years old. We bought one for each grandchild. They all love it. Their parents have read the book to them and the younger ones get a kick out of changing the meaning by changing the punctuation and emphasis. Very educational.

Easts, Shoots & Leaves

This book is wonderful. I teach 4th grade, and I am always telling my students how important punctuation is when writing. Teaching that point with the humor in this book makes an impact!

Eats, Shoots & Leaves

I bought this book for my grandson for his 7th birthday. He is in the first grade, and he took it to his class to share. His teacher also liked it. It might be a little advanced for this age, but he really likes the funny stories, and I believe it has helped him understand the importance of punctuation. I recommend this book.
