Squiggle takes a walk: Learning about Punctuation

by Natasha Sharma

Meet Squiggle—curious, confused and crazy! Squiggle is confused. She doesn’t know quite what she is! So she sets off through the pages of a notebook in search of answers. Is she a comma or colon? A question mark? Surely not an exclamation! Splash, run, bump, trip and swing with her until she finds her own kind. Natasha Sharma’s delightful book introduces young readers to the correct way to use punctuation in this deliciously comic tale. It also includes a punctuation primer, and plenty of games, fun facts, activities and questions to help you understand what punctuation does, and how to use it correctly. Jump into this adventure with Squiggle and you’ll never lose that comma again!
