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

Average rating
4 out of 5
Based on 1,537 Ratings and 394 Reviews

Book Description


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.

This picture book is sure to elicit gales of laughter-and better punctuation-from all who read it.
