Eats, Shoots & Leaves
Why, Commas Really Do Make a Difference!
by Lynne Truss
Review this book!
Lynne Truss, author of the bestselling adult punctuation guide EATS, SHOOTS & LEAVES, has created a hilarious picture book for grade-school children all about the beauty of commas. By using the same sentence, one with correct comma placement, and the other with incorrect placement, Truss demonstrates how drastically the meaning can change. An enormous hot dog can turn into a giant, sweaty dog with just one comma! The book is accompanied by full-color illustrations, and a clear explanation of each set of examples is also included.

Publisher Notes
In a title based on the best-selling adult edition, lively, subversive illustrations show how misplacing or leaving out a comma can change the meaning of a sentence completely.
Media Reviews
"In this pithy adaptation of her bestselling adult book of the same title, Truss wryly demonstrated the truth of her subtitle--sans comma."
First Line
Punctuation marks are the traffic signals of language: they tell us to slow down, notice this, take a detour, or stop.
