Once upon a time, there was a lighthouse with a library. One night, a book falls from the library shelf, and all sorts of punctuation fall from the pages. And they are NOT happy. Exclamation Point feels overused, and Period and Comma feel underappreciated, so they decide to sail away to the island of fun. Along the way, they run into all sorts of conflicts. Still, eventually, they make their way to the island of Chaos. On this island, all sorts of words run amok because no punctuation lives there! Our little boat of punctuation comes to the rescue, where they then feel worthy of returning to the lighthouse and the book from which they tumbled.
A charming and funny way to learn about using punctuation. A wonderful addition to any classroom. In fact, I shared it with a friend of mine who works as Literacy Lead, and she purchased a copy for our grade 3 teachers!!
Thank you to Cheryl Olsen and Fleecydale Press and Netgalley for the copy.
