Description

This is a story about an exclamation mark! Surprised? And this exclamation mark's story is really everyone's story, because it's about fitting in, and standing out, and, with the help of a friend, finding the way to be what you truly are. The creative team behind Duck! Rabbit! (named a Best Book of 2009 by Publishers Weekly and Time magazine) makes this little mark a surprisingly sympathetic hero for readers up to 6, illustrated as a drawn dot with an expressive face and an upright tail, on pages like kindergarten handwriting paper. "Through a perfect pairing of clever design and tongue-in-cheek humor, [Amy] Rosenthal and [Tom] Lichtenheld effectively demonstrate the function of the exclamation mark (as well as the period and question mark) in this tale about a depressed punctuation mark that just doesn't fit in.... This fun-to-read tale will find a ready home in language-arts lessons, reminding burgeoning elementary-age writers which punctuation personality belongs in which type of sentence—without the tedium that accompanies traditional grammar lessons. This one is a must-have!"—School Library Journal (starred review)
