Book Review / Exclamation Mark by Amy Krouse Rosenthal & Tom Lichtenheld

We've gotten a whole bunch of new picture books in the last few weeks - it's so exciting to have a brand new shiny copy of a book in your hands!  This title was definitely one of my favorites:

Amy Krouse Rosenthal & Tom Lichtenheld (of Duck! Rabbit!) make a wonderfully creative team and their latest collaboration, Exclamation Mark, is absolutely wonderful!  Told in short, sweet sentences and expressive line drawings, Exclamation Mark tells the story of how this personified punctuation mark discovers his role & purpose in life (and sentence structure!). This book is a great choice for teachers and not only makes a perfect grammar introduction but also provides a jumping off point for classroom discussion.


Appropriate for ages 4-8. Reviewed from a library copy.
