A panda walks into the library. He eats a sandwich, then draws his bow and shoots two arrows.
"Why did you do that?" asks the librarian as the panda walks toward the exit.
The panda shows her a badly punctuated book. "I'm a panda," he says. "That's what it says we do."
The librarian looks at the page: PANDA - Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.


Young and young-at-heart sticklers, unite! Lynne Truss and illustrator Bonnie Timmons provide hilarious proof that punctuation really does matter.

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.

This picture book is sure to elicit gales of laughter—and better punctuation—from all who read it.
