This book is one of the most fun things I've read in a long time. Super short and taking less than ten minutes to read start to finish, this picture book gives English teachers an awesome way to explain the purposes of the comma. Each two-page spread has the same sentence, altered only by the existence or non-existence of a comma...and the differences are hilarious. Each situation is illustrated with funny and engaging illustrations. Students of all ages - we were laughing out loud in my college class - would find this book funny, and wouldn't be able to help learning a valuable lesson about the placement of commas and their effect on the structure and meaning of sentences. [Funny, but I'm very aware of my comma placement in this post...] Highly recommended!
