Punctuation Celebration by Elsa Knight Bruno, illustrated by Jenny 
Whitehead. Holt, 2009. 978-0-8050-7973-9

Teaching punctuation will be easier, more creative, and enormously 
more fun once teachers have Punctuation Celebration in hand. A 
Punctuation Field Day is the frame story that introduces the various 
punctuation mark "players," including period, question mark, 
exclamation point, comma, apostrophe, quotation marks, colon, 
semi-colon, parentheses, elipses, dash and hyphen. A double page 
spread dedicated to each punctuation mark includes a rhyming verse 
defining the mark and its use as well as a poem appropriately 
utilizing the mark multiple times.  Bright illustrations in gouache 
and cut paper lend personality to the cast of characters, marks and 
silly humans alike.  This clever book will be a welcome addition to 
every elementary classroom where teachers will want to post the 
explanatory poems--and perhaps challenge students to memorize 
them-and surely invite students to create their own usage poems. 
School libraries may want to consider purchasing two copies.
