About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is beginning to learn about writing and finds grammar rules tedious or uninspiring. It's the perfect antidote to the sentiment that punctuation is boring! The story follows a mischievous Full Stop (a period) who decides it's tired of ending things and runs away, leading to a cascade of comical, run-on sentences and chaos. Through a playful chase, the book highlights the importance of teamwork and shows how every little piece of language has a crucial role to play. For ages 5-8, it masterfully transforms a dry grammar lesson into a delightful, imaginative adventure that celebrates creativity and the joy of language.
