This book is an informational book on punctuation. It goes through when and how to use them. It does this through poetry and illustrations. The poem's rhyme scheme is inconsistent. The book does a great job in visually showing which punctuation is being focused on. For example, the punctuation being focused on is a different font color than the rest of the text. This makes it easy to understand which type of punctuation is discussed at the time. In "Tomorrow's my birthday; I'm going to be seven", the semicolon is red while the rest of the text is black. Another example of how the punctuation is emphasized is through the illustrations. The illustrations incorporate the punctuation. For example, to express "parentheses", there are parentheses used throughout the illustrations. Parentheses are used as a symbol on a chocolate milk bottle, is shown through the arrangement of the falling potato chips, and a part of the design on a sub sandwich's bread. The big message of this picture book is to inform readers of the different types of punctuation.
Rating: 3Cute poems to illustrate the use of common punctuation.
Rating: 3This book is a great way to introduce/reinforce conventions with young students. This book would be great for students under third grade. I would use it as a mentor text to a mini-lesson on conventions. The rhymes would also be great to print up and display in the classroom for students to reference during writing times.
Rating: 4Punctuation is a very important thing that children learn. I think the author did a good job presenting the information in this book. It was very interesting to read.
Rating: 5Very clever short poems about punctuation marks. All are quite clever, possibly too clever for kids. Must test a few of these out.
