5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended 23 Aug 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
If you're looking for a clear and well-written reference on the finer points of punctuation, then this is for you. It is exceptionally easy-to-read, and makes interesting what could potentially be a very dry and boring subject. It is ideal for adults and older children, ranging from those who feel their punctuation is a little rusty, to those who just want a point of reference. Its reasonable price also makes this a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaching English to children 28 Sep 2011
By PaulK
Format:Paperback
Many kids are not taught at school how or when to use all the different types of punctuation. They do not know how to use commas, semi-colons etc.
This book is great at teaching the use of punctuation, it provides simple rules of when to use each punctuation symbol, when not to use it and lots of examples of right and wrong usage. It is easy to read and is written in a jovial way. I highly recommend it.
