Comments:
If they had books like this when I was a child, I sure
didn’t know it. I can’t get enough of them now.
Did you ever feel like you didn’t fit in? Like you had
nothing to offer because you weren’t like everyone else? That’s how little
Exclamation Mark felt. In a world full of Periods, Exclamation Mark was too
tall, too different. But then one day Question Mark shows up doing what he does
best (asks incessant questions, of course) and Exclamation Mark stumbles upon
what he was born to do—exclaim!
I love this book. I love its message to young readers and
old readers alike. Everyone needs to be reminded from time to time that if they
keep looking, they’ll find what they’re meant to do. And they’ll be good at
it.
Would you recommend
this to a friend?
Yes. Little and big, alike.
