The Girl's Like Spaghetti: Why, You Can't Manage without Apostrophes! Review
Talk about a great title! What an engaging way to get my 4th grade students looking at apostrophes as more than a confusing nuisance in their writing. Its reading prompted them to invent their own examples. Their only question was why the cover comment wasn't also illustrated in the book.
The Girl's Like Spaghetti: Why, You Can't Manage without Apostrophes! Overview
Just as the use of commas was hilariously demystified in Eats, Shoots & Leaves: Why, Commas Really Do Make a Difference!, now Lynne Truss and Bonnie Timmons put their talents together to do the same for apostrophes. Everyone needs to know where to put an apostrophe to make a word plural or possessive (Are those sticky things your brother’s or your brothers?) and leaving one out of a contraction can give someone the completely wrong impression (Were here to help you).
Full of silly scenes that show how apostrophes make a difference, too, this is another picture book that will elicit bales of laughter and better punctuation from all who read it.

This was pretty good but not as good as the others I have ordered such as Eat Shoots and Leaves. But it gets the message across.
