(4) K-3 Language on the Loose series. Illustrated by Russ Cox. In Frog, each cleverly named member of a family communicates exclusively through one kind of sentence (e.g., son Exclamuel uses only exclamatory). In Whatever, a boy overcomes a chronic case of monotone expression ("ouch thatll leave a mark") thanks to punctuation. The purposeful stories are silly but memorable vehicles to reinforce sentence types and the purpose for punctuation. Reading list. Review covers these Language on the Loose titles: Whatever Says Mark and Frog. Frog? Frog!.
