Description
This hilarious book proves just how important apostrophes really are! Each page spread focuses on one sentence listed twice, each with a different apostrophe placement. For example, one page says "The giant kids' playground" with a picture of a huge playground, while the other page says "The giant kid's playground" with a picture of a giant boy on a swing. An introduction in the beginning covers a few basic rules of apostrophes and a section in the back includes explanations to the different examples in the book. 10.75"x 7.25", hc. ~ Emily G
Publisher's Description of Girl's Like Spaghetti
Just as the use of commas was hilariously demystified in Eats, Shoots & Leaves: Why, Commas Really Do Make a Difference!, now Lynne Truss and Bonnie Timmons put their talents together to do the same for apostrophes. Everyone needs to know where to put an apostrophe to make a word plural or possessive (Are those sticky things your brother's or your brothers') and leaving one out of a contraction can give someone the completely wrong impression (Were here to help you).
Full of silly scenes that show how apostrophes make a difference, too, this is another picture book that will elicit bales of laughter and better punctuation from all who read it.
