From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5–Filled with informative tabs, lift-the-flaps, and pop-ups, this highly interactive book acts as a giant grammar lesson. Readers will learn the proper use for commas, semicolons, colons, exclamation points, dashes, and more. The text is funny as well; for example, the section called comma jokes shows how commas change the meaning of sentences: Lets eat the kids begged Mom becomes 'Lets eat, the kids begged Mom. Children will enjoy this book, though its engineering design makes it delicate for heavy circulation. Consider a copy for reference or classroom use.–Lisa Gangemi Kropp, Middle Country Public Library, Centereach, NY

Great Homeschooling tool!
This book caught my daughters eye and we just bought it.She had some questions about punctuation in the last year and explaining it the typical way was not getting thru to her.This book gave her a more hands on approach which really works for her!

LOVE this book
I'm a 20-year-old English major, so when I saw this book I knew I had to have it. It is fantastic! Entertaining, educational... it sits by my bed and every few weeks I pick it up and read it (again!) It never fails to disappoint. Now if only they would get a spelling pop-up book, my life would be complete.

Outstanding!
Excellent tool for teaching and self-teaching. Perfect for ADD/ADHD and kinesthetic learners. I've been an author for many years and I learned some new things too!
