«Eats, Shoots & Leaves For Children» is Lynne Truss's children's book about punctuation, published by Profile Books in hardcover (32 pages, in English).
Lynne Truss and Bonnie Timmons show with humor how a misplaced or omitted comma changes the meaning of a sentence and causes absurd confusion, such as mistaking a huge hot dog for an enormous hot dog. The panda illustrations and examples play with grammar so that punctuation is learned naturally.
First title in the «Eats, Shoots & Leaves Picture Books» series, a children's adaptation of the bestseller «Eats, Shoots & Leaves» by Lynne Truss, published on September 14, 2006.
Designed for early readers and for adults who want to review punctuation with humor.
Lynne Truss is an English author, journalist, novelist, and radio broadcaster and dramatist. She champions correctness and aesthetics in the English language, which is the subject of her 2003 book, Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. The book was inspired by a BBC Radio 4 show about punctuation, Cutting a Dash, which she presented.
