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.

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.
