This is another punctuation book that I loved. It uses simple phrases like, "yo" "yes" "oh" "you," etc. to show how those phrases differ with different punctuation after them. Two boys meet on the street and become friends. But first they go through a series of questions, answers, and exclamations, all using very short phrases. The first boy says, "Yo!" and the second answers with, "yes?" It's fun to see the same word, used in different ways because of the punctuation used at the end.
I think this would be another great book for writers workshop. I would love to read it aloud and let students hear the how the way you say the word or phrase bases off what the punctuation is. The same word on different pages means different things because the punctuation mark is different. I think this would help students learn to read their writing aloud and make sure they are punctuation correctly.
