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

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

Lynne Truss,

32 pages

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.
