Twenty-Odd Ducks: Why, Every Punctuation Mark Counts!

32 pp. | Putnam | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25058-3 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bonnie Timmons. This amusing companion to Truss's popular Eats, Shoots & Leaves and The Girl's Like Spaghetti demonstrates what can happen when one sentence is punctuated in two different ways. (For example: "How many shoes do you need!/?") Timmons's colorful, loose-handed illustrations highlight the comical results. The actual grammatical rules in play are explained at the back of the book.
