Funny, cute, honestly I laughed out loud. I want to give this to 7th graders every time they don’t use punctuation at all in their sentences!

I had low expectations for a story about punctuation marks but I could not have been more wrong! A brilliantly clever story interwoven from the punctuation marks and their roles. I was thrilled to see a cameo role for pilcrow and a nod to the future of punctuation. Very clever illustration, particularly of the words. My only qualm is the difference between US and UK terminology makes this a little harder to use in UK, but it is so clever, I will be using it anyway!

This book is adorable. I love following the adventures of the punctuation marks as well as the snuck in lessons on how to use each mark correctly. the animals and such made of words and symbols is wonderful. This book is full of wonderful messages presented in a fun engaging way.

The punctuation marks don't feel appreciated and decide to go on an adventure. What will happen when they encounter an island of chaos, instead? This is a story about the importance of punctuation and finding renewed meaning.

As a fan of punctuation (team Oxford comma), this picture book had my attention from the beginning. It's very silly and the illustrations are so colorful and show a ton motion. This would be a fun way to bring up a discussion on punctuation in a school setting.

Thanks to Fleecydale Press and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

It was a thrilling adventure to join the Punctuation Marks on this journey! Cheryl Olsten's text is joyous and informative without being overwhelming to grasp! We learn the basics of how, where and why the four punctuations are used. The text reads along quite well with Sara Not's GORGEOUS illustrations!

Every page and spread has so many details you can take the time to look over and enjoy with your little one. The ISLAND OF CHAOS and how the chaos is visualised with words took my breath away. I flipped the pages back and forth multiple times just to go over all the details, animals, words, objects, and more.

A delightful story with beautiful illustrations!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a cute little book. All the illustrations were all done very well.

But, I am neither a child nor a parent, so obviously I am not among the audience for this book. But, I am pretty sure, the actual audience would enjoy this book, and even benefit from it.

Although, little information was provided so as to where one should place each of the punctuations, it was still very informative for the desired reading level.

Overall, this was a nice book, both in terms of illustrations and writing!

Mother of two here! This book was perfect for my 2nd grader who is working on improving her punctuation and story-telling. Cheryl Olsten does a wonderful job, as the context was perfect for my 8-year-old to interpret and explain to me. This adorable story reminded us of The Day The Crayons Quit. The illustrations were so creative, as the punctuation set sail to reach Island of Fun but ended up on the Island of Chaos. The word animals were so fun, my kids loved it! Anything with animals is a hit in our household. We really enjoyed this unique story and beautiful illustrations. We will definitely recommend this to our daughter’s 2nd grade teacher!

Thank you to NetGalley and Fleecydale Press for this eARC!
