POWELL, Marie

Through a brief story, each book demonstrates multiple uses of one punctuation mark: Ahmed, for instance, uses exclamation points when he makes the soccer team (Exciting!). Different-color type effectively highlights each in-text use of the featured punctuation mark. The stories are slight, but the repeat characters' enthusiastic, friendly faces may engage readers. A list of each mark's key functions is appended. Review covers these Punctuation Station titles: "What Did You Say?", Stop Right There., Take a Pause, Paul, This Is Exciting, We're Going to the Smiths' House, and What Is That?.
