Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
As a baby, my now 3-year old son loved this book and others in the series, such as Zoo's Who? and Quack! Quack!. I think I will read all of them to my younger son, now an infant, but I'm hugely disappointed that with such simple text, the author couldn't get the punctuation right.
"Rex's tail wags to and fro - he's hungry and wants you to know!" Am I missing something here, or shouldn't these two thoughts be separated by a semicolon or a period? Why is a dash being used? The same problem occurs on the page with Rollo and Smartie. On the page with the 3 dogs, there is a comma being used to separate two complete sentences. At the very least, it should be a semicolon.
I DO recognize that for babies, punctuation is not a big deal, but all of the other board books we have use correct punctuation; so too should this book. Babies become toddlers one day, and they often continue to look at their baby board books. It would be nice to know that they are getting exposed to proper grammar and punctuation |
