The Girl's Like Spaghetti: Why, You Can't Manage without Apostrophes!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bonnie Timmons. This kid-friendly grammar guide stars the "tireless" apostrophe. The text pairs sentences or phrases that are identical but for one apostrophe ("Ladies' lounge / Ladies lounge"), the addition or removal of which humorously changes meaning. Energetic cartoons illustrate the zany situations, making clear the importance of proper punctuation placement. An explanation in the back further clarifies the grammar in each spread.
