The Girl’s Like Spaghetti (Why You Can’t Manage Without Apostrophes!), by Lynne Truss and illustrated by Bonnie Timmons, is a great
companion piece to Eats Shoots and Leaves. The purpose of the book is readily seen in the way an
apostrophe changes the meaning.
Side by side drawings accompany identically worded sentences that use
apostrophes in different ways. The
drawings help children visualize how an apostrophe changes the meaning of a
sentence. The book is really quite
humorous as you look at the sentences and pictures. We think this book is a fun teaching resource!
*What did you learn about apostrophes?
*Which one was your favorite example?
*Can you think of some sentences you could add to the book?
