Basher Basics: Punctuation by Mary Budzik (author) and Simon Basher (illustrator) (UK edition)

A new look at a must-know subject from the artist who brought you The Periodic Table. From the loud-mouthed Exclamation Mark to the curious Question Mark, discover the quirky personalities that make up punctuation. See how they all work together on the page to turn your writing into the write stuff! Urban artist Simon Basher gives a cool manga makeover to an essential school subject, ascribing a streetwise face to all those confusing grammatical marks. There’s unassuming Semicolon, Double Quotation Marks (a.k.a. The Chatterbox Twins), and some gossipy Brackets who love to butt in – not to mention a very final Full Stop! Ascribing a personality profile to each punctuation mark, and letting it explain its usage in its very own words, this is a truly unique and entertaining look at grammar, which helps children to distinguish each mark, and remember what it does.
