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. Ethel Exclamation Mark is the tallest and the thinnest of the Puncs! She lives in a village. On her garden gate there is a notice, which says, "Beware of the dog!" Elliott, her dog, isn t really fierce at all but he has a very loud bark!

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
