Punctuation to the rescue is a cute tale of the importance of punctuation. My 2nd grader thought this was a silly story with an educational emphasis.

Thanks to Net Galley for this eARC. All opinions are my own.

This is a very cute little story about the importance of punctuation marks and how each one is used in a sentence but conveyed in a fun, colourful, wholesome way that young kids will likely enjoy! Each punctuation mark character brings to life their uses in a sentence - as in, Question asks questions, Comma pauses a lot, Exclamation exclaims a lot, etc. I thought the inclusion of old forgotten punctuation marks was a fun little ode, too.

Definitely a good, education read for younger kids!

Thank you Netgalley for the eARC.

This was an adorable book with delightful illustrations which managed to communicate the importance of punctuation in a wonderful manner.

I thoroughly enjoyed this children’s book where the punctuation marks develop personalities of their own and go on a grand adventure when they’re feeling unappreciated. I loved the illustrations of the residents of the island they land on, especially the words which made me laugh. I immediately wanted to show the book to my friends and family so they could delight in the images as well.

The plot was very cute, and particularly relevant in an era of texting where punctuation isn’t as highly used as it might have been previously. I will definitely continue to think of these punctuation characters for a long time. Would definitely recommend.

Such a great way to explain punctuation. All of its uses and when and where they go. And they did it in such a cute kid friendly way too.

I’m a homeschooling mom of 5 and we love learning through an engaging story book. My younger ones really loved this and it helped punctuation lessons click a bit faster. I recommend this for anyone with younger elementary school children! Thanks so much to NetGalley for providing this ARC.

This would be a great book to use in an elementary classroom during reading/writing lessons that involve new punctuation. With the punctuation marks as main characters, students would be engaged in the story without realizing they are taking part in a punctuation lesson. Overall, a cute and clever read that younger students would enjoy!

“Punctuation to the Rescue” is a must have for classroom teachers. This is the perfect story to review punctuation while making it plenty humorous. It’s also a great way to introduce how to make your writing better with proper punctuation. I highly recommend it for school libraries, classroom collections, and homeschool families.

This was a cute book that might be a fun one to include in a primary teachers repertoire of writing or grammar books. It tells a story while teaching about proper punctuation.

Not sure this was working properly via pdf :( We were able to read the text and enjoy the story but there were no pictures! I look forward to us picking it up again soon though! Great message and we still loved reading it together :)

Loved how the island of words figured out they’d need punctuation to be complete! Also loved how punctuation just wanted to break away but realized how necessary they were! Loved the pictures and graphics and how they supported the plot. One point missing is quite literally the pause point of the comma. All other punctuation was explained why they were necessary and used in examples, but commas were not! Sad day! Overall - very cute book!

Punctuation to the Rescue a story of punctuation being under appreciated and they need an vacation. Exclamation point, question mark, and comma take off as they are not feeling the love. They find themselves in a land that words are in chaos and are there to the rescue.

I absolutely loved this book! It reminded me slightly of the day the crayons quit although the story is different. ! . , and ? Are cute, fun and hilarious characters who feel under appreciated but after their adventure and being used to save some interesting characters realise how useful they each are.

This book would be fantastic for using to teach those younger children the importance of punctuation and would be perfect for the teaching of punctuation in the classroom. The illustrations are delightful and detailed the pictures alone could ignite so much conversation but the story also lends itself to this. I would highly recommend and I will be going out to purchase this read.

I loved the concept of this book as I think a fun picture book illustrating different types of punctuation does fill a void. I just think this book got a little muddled down in the middle, and could’ve used a little tighter editing. I would recommend it for a teacher read aloud, perhaps in 1st grade, when they are teaching punctuation in class.

I absolutely adored this book. I read it with my 6 year old and we just laughed. I love the personification of the punctuation marks; such a fun was to teach that they don't even know they are learning. The illustrations were super cute.

Who knew that grammar could be so much fun! As a teacher, my English Language Arts classes don't see it that way. I am hoping that this book will help change their minds! Not only does this book have a story, and fun pictures, it teaches a lesson in a different way. Thank you to Netgalley for this free e-book in exchange for an honest review. I look forward to sharing it with my classes next school year.

This book is perfect for a 1st grade classroom. We work on punctuation a lot, so having this story and the adventure is a fun way to introduce the concept. I loved how when each punctuation was talking, their punctuation mark was used. It also gave the reasoning and need for punctuation in a simple way that makes it easy for kids to grasp.

This is a cute story about punctuation going on a "vacation" because they felt overused and unappreciated. On vacation they learn how important they really are and they meet some new friends. I think this book puts a fun spin on a skill that can be "boring" for kids. I like how the words on the island are illustrated to represent their meaning and make them fun. The illustrations are fun and colorful. The punctuation marks go on a fun adventure that I think kids would really enjoy....the shark, tsunami, Island of Chaos....all things kids are interested in. I think this book would be a great addition to any library - personal or classroom. I know it will be added to mine!

Thank you Cheryl Olsten and Fleecydale Press for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book via NetGalley! This review was written voluntarily and all opinions are my own.

I loved this book. The artwork is beautiful, and the premise is great. It’s an adventure with an educational twist (that doesn’t come off as stiff or too in-your-face). The punctuation characters are cute and distinctive, and the use of punctuation/grammar within their dialogue is fun (but also slyly informative). Kids will really like this one and hopefully even learn a little.

A very nice way of showing the importance of punctuation as well as describing their functions on each sentences. The artsyle is amazing. Very helpful for children who are just start able to read, and learn the symbols in among sentences.

Thankyou for granting me an arc in exchange for honest review ✨

Punctuation to the Rescue is a cute story that addresses the use and importance of punctuation in sentences. Following the commonly used punctuation characters, the story demonstrates that using proper punctuation makes sentences clearer. As an educator, I would use this story as a read aloud followed up with discussion about complete sentences and how to make our sentences more interesting. I would recommend this book for teacher librarians and classroom teachers.
