librarianryan 's review for:

Babble!: And How Punctuation Saved It by Caroline Adderson, Roman Muradov

3.5

informative lighthearted slow-paced

---

 

This was not a picture book as expected. It’s not quite a chapter book and way harder than easy reading. This is a book that sets forth to explain punctuation in a story setting. At the beginning all words are just babble running into each other nonstop. Until a character comes in and hands somebody a period. Then more things arise and she hands them a ? Then an ! And then even some commas. It helps the world learn to communicate with each other and with themselves. Overall, the story was interesting but long. I see being most useful in an education setting with either teacher at home school.
