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. Henrietta is a top-class horse-trials rider. Year-in, year-out, she travels in her horsebox to one-day, two-day, and three-day events. Henrietta has a bright-eyed devil-may-care girl-groom called Mary-Anne, who sees to the day-to-day running of the stables at Punc-on-the-Green.

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
