"I loved this book!! It is educative and funny at the same time. The jokes always make me laugh, and I like how they show how commas make a big difference in a scentence. I recomend this book to anyone who wants a good laugh."
"A cartoon look at comma usage and how its misuse can make a sentence completely change and go awry. It's a funny companion, appropriate for children, to the author's similarly titled book, "Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation." We've enjoyed both books. Although our girls can't truly appreciate the nuances yet, they still enjoyed the cartoon pictures."
