Eats, Shoots & Leaves: Why, Commas Really Do Make a Difference!

Punctuation play is at its finest in this New York Times #1 bestseller! Illuminating the comical confusion the lowly comma can cause, this new edition of Eats, Shoots & Leaves uses lively, subversive illustrations to show how misplacing or leaving out a comma can change the meaning of a sentence completely. You might want to eat a huge hot dog, but a huge, hot dog would run away pretty quickly if you tried to take a bite out of him. And a sign saying “”Eat here and get gas”” would hint at a very different odor than “”Eat here, and get gas.”” This picture book is sure to elicit gales of laughter–and better punctuation–from all who read it. #1 New York Times Bestseller Book Sense Book of the Year Honor Book KidsReads.com Best Book of the Year — ISBN13: 9780399244919
