A page turner book about punctuation. <BR/><BR/>There is a picture book version by the same title just about commas, and another about apostrophes--not sure of the title, but it is something about sister's (or sisters'.)<BR/><BR/>There IS a blog where the blogger collects photos of incorrectly used apostrophes.Katneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702911535481192870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-21718251648885357372008-07-06T18:18:00.000-07:002008-07-06T18:18:00.000-07:00Not weird at all, Leslie. you're a teacher and a w...Not weird at all, Leslie. you're a teacher and a writer.
