Punctuation play is at its finest in this New York Times #1 bestseller!

Illuminating the comical confusion the lowly comma can cause, this new edition of Eats, Shoots & Leaves uses lively, subversive illustrations to show how misplacing or leaving out a comma can change the meaning of a sentence completely. You might want to eat a huge hot dog, but a huge, hot dog would run away pretty quickly if you tried to take a bite out of him. And a sign saying "Eat here and get gas" would hint at a very different odor than "Eat here, and get gas."
This picture book is sure to elicit gales of laughter—and better punctuation—from all who read it.

Why, Commas Really Do Make A Difference

Eats, Shoots, & Leaves

Have fun with language!

What Is an antonym? One book is never enough to explore the wide range of antonyms!

In this follow up to Stop and Go, Yes and No, the zany (not ordinary) cats deliver loads of additional examples to illustrate the power of these opposites. Brian P. Cleary's playful (not dull) verse and Brian Gable's comical (not serious) cats turn traditional grammar lessons on end. Each pair of antonyms is printed in color for easy (not difficult) identification. Read this book aloud and share the delight of the sense―and nonsense―of words.

Star Wars Missions: The Vactooine Disaster. ISBN 0590592696. Star Wars Missions Series Book #12 of 20. First Scholastic Printing, August 1998. These books contain original stories, adventures and were associated with the Star Wars Missions Roleplaying Game (you don’t have to own or play the game though to read the individual original story in each book). This series of books was followed by the “Star Wars Episode I Adventures” Series Books. The books from this series are VERY tough to find, especially in decent condition. The higher the number of book the harder it is to find (they start to climb at about #7 and then start to dramatically climb at about #11). These were only available if you were a member of the Star Wars Fan Club AND you paid for an optional subscription to receive these books once a month. After you received your official Darth Vader starter kit (I have an extra kit if anyone is interested) a continuity package would arrive in the mail each month with a copy of that month’s book, an issue of Star Wars Kids magazine, additional playing cards and a new planet map/blueprint. Please reference the photos.
