Where Are the Words?

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Denise Holmes. "I feel like writing a story," says a period with stick limbs. "What are you doing?" asks a like-limbed question mark. So begins a dialogue among various punctuation marks in search of words. The book is a smart campaign for collaboration (says an exclamation point: "Let's write the story together!") and punctuation awareness, illustrated entirely by the talking marks themselves.
