Synopsis

The Puncs is a witty and original series of seven books about a group of characters who do not want to be forgotten! Each character introduces young people (7+) to a written punctuation sign by representing the meaning and usage of these signs in everyday life through their individual and unique cartoon character traits. Before there were Puncs there were Grunts. Once the Grunts were turned into Written Words thousands of years ago, the Puncs arrived to put the Words in order but they didn't all appear at the same time... Read all about the history of the Puncs in the first book in the series.

About this title

Review

...eight, nine and even 10-year-olds who sampled our set enjoyed them and hopefully picked up a few punctuation points along the way. Younger children will enjoy the books simply as funny stories, entertainingly illustrated. Yes punctuation can be fun - just don't tell the politicians. --The Examiner, 15th March 2005

(The) Puncs make a mark --TES, 7 January 2005

This...is an easy to understand, brightly illustrated book that gives understandable examples of punctuation and teaches children the correct use of punctuation in a lively, interesting and witty way. --Liverpool Echo, 26 October 2004
