Punctuation practice, one mark at a time

Organized as a series of focused chapters, Clare Dignall’s workbook introduces punctuation marks through their origins, usage rules and exceptions, then puts them into practice with short exercises. Topics range from apostrophes and commas to colons, semicolons and hyphens. A self-assessment questionnaire opens the book, while longer passages in “The Final Challenge” offer a broader test of the skills covered. The structure makes this a hands-on companion to learning punctuation, with practice built around both individual marks and connected text.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults seeking structured punctuation practice
  • Readers who want to review punctuation rules and exceptions through exercises
  • Fans of the book “Eats, Shoots and Leaves” looking for its companion workbook

Book overview

The punctuation workout for sticklers and rookies alike.

The punctuation panda is back!

Armed with a permanent marker, a smidgen of confidence, and a copy of 'Can You Eat, Shoot and Leave?', everyone now has the chance to become a member of the punctuation elite.

Established punctuation sticklers:
Fine-tune existing skills, taking guilty pleasure from testing your (already somewhat unsettling) seventh sense.

Confused novices:
Never again inflict flawed and perplexing punctuation on your innocent readers.

The only official workbook for the international bestseller 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves.'

  • Introductory Cosmo-style questionnaire helps readers identify their level of punctuation prowess.
  • Mirrors the structure and light-hearted style of Lynne Truss's hugely popular 'Eats, Shoots and Leaves'. Topics include apostrophes, commas, colons and semicolons, hyphens and more.
  • Each chapter concentrates on one particular punctuation mark. Origin, usage rules and their exceptions introduce the entertaining activities which have a 'challenge-yourself' format.
  • The bite-sized exercises in each chapter and longer texts in 'The Final Challenge' put punctuation skills to the test.
