Written and designed for ages 4 to 8 -- Meet the Marks is a colorful and whimsical adventure about a family of punctuation marks whose children begin to question their purpose and the boundaries of their surroundings. Each character speaks in conjunction with its function. Missy, the exclamation mark, only speaks in an exclamatory tone and Junior, the question mark, only speaks in the form of a question. Though it is clear to adults that the characters are punctuation marks, to young children they are simply whimsical characters. Meet the Marks is an engaging read for children, with the added benefit for parents and educators to begin a dialogue that reaches well beyond the story. It is an adventure that reminds us how much we all need each other in the stories of our lives.
