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 brotheras 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.
For the millions of girls--and the women they grow into--who are
mad about horses, who live to ride, who spend more time in stables
than stores, who know the difference between a hock and the
fetlock, comes a sweet, charming, wise, obsessive celebration of
the bond between woman and horse. Written and illustrated by Bonnie
Timmons, the award-winning artist whose signature squiggly style
was seen every week on NBC's hit show "Caroline in the City" and is
featured in places ranging from "The New York Times" to "Fortune
500" advertising campaigns, "Hold Your Horses" is 144 full-color
pages of irresistible pleasure and unexpected horse sense.
Commas and apostrophes aren?t the only punctuation marks that can cause big trouble if they?re put in the wrong place. Now, Truss and Timmons put hyphens, parentheses, quotation marks, periods, and more in the spotlight, showing how which marks you choose and where you put them can cause hilarious mix-ups.
