Eats shoots and leaves (0/0 people found this helpful)
Most enjoyable way to learn correct punctuation. Very informative but in a light hearted manner. Will ensure that all future correspondence is perfectly punctuated, a headache for the writer, but fun for the recipient.
Where is it? (0/3 people found this helpful)
This book never arrived, despite my having enquired about it. Consequently, I'm in no position to write a review!
Excellent! (0/0 people found this helpful)
Excellent way to teach children (and adults) - people really don't understand the value of the comma.
Good seller.
A really useful aid to punctuation (0/0 people found this helpful)
Humourous and thoughtful book. Very informative, a good help with punctuation and lighted hearted in it's approach. Bought two, one to give to my son.
Instructive and amusing (0/0 people found this helpful)
This is a really good read! Quite remarkable for a book on what could be a very dry subject.
Lynne manages to bring the whole subject to life, with clear instructions on the correct use of punctuation and many amusing examples and fascinating pieces of history.
