I think that my curmudgeoness is starting to take over. I really, really, really dislike garbage books. Most of current children’s books are complete crap.
This is a page from a popular author’s sequel. I’ve never read the first one (name withheld), but as I started to read this one with some children, I ‘noped’ right out of it. There is no punctuation. I’m sure it is a stylistic choice, but it sure is a dumb one.
Brad says
No punctuation? It surprises me that such liberties would be taken in books for kids so young.
Lauren says
I guess I should have said ‘random’ punctuation. You can see the quotation marks, and there were question marks sprinkled throughout. I should start a Garbage Book series. I’d have years of material.
Deborah says
Commas save lives! Don’t they know that?!
Lauren's dad says
May I enlarge your garbage book pile by throwing digital media articles of white print on black on it?
