Eats, Shoots & Leaves: Why, Commas Really Do Make a Difference!

Lynne Truss

Punctuation play is at its finest in this New York Times #1 bestseller!

Illuminating the comical confusion the lowly comma can cause, this new edition of Eats, Shoots & Leaves uses lively, subversive illustrations to show how misplacing or leaving out a comma can change the meaning of a sentence completely. You might want to eat a huge hot dog, but a huge, hot dog would run away pretty quickly if you tried to take a bite out of him. And a sign saying Eat here and get gas would hint at a very different odor than Eat here, and get gas. This picture book is sure to elicit gales of laughter-and better punctuation-from all who read it.
