Books
These are great, thanks for sharing them! There’s also a kids’ book about punctuation called ‘Semicolons, Cupcakes, and Cucumbers’, written by Steve Newberry. Also, in case anyone’s interested, I found a fun activity about punctuation, that requires movement to do it. Here’s the link: https://westendinschools.org.uk/blog/kung-fu-punctuation
Have a great day, cheers!
