Book Synopsis

A picture book that’s full of fun and silliness, The Full Stop That Got Away brings together Laura Baker and Nathan Reed for the very first time – and the results are hilarious!

This is Frank.

Frank is a full stop.

He’s round and small and things quietly stop when he’s around.

Frank is a full stop, and he acts exactly like a full stop should.

He splits up sentences that get too long . . .

“It’s true. I do.”

He never shouts . . .

“Ouch. Ouch. Help.”

And he never asks questions.

“That’s right.”

But what if Frank decides to stop acting like a full stop? What would happen then?

Brilliantly funny story by Laura Baker, author of The Colour of Happy and Monsters in Trucks

Beautifully illustrated by Nathan Reed, illustrator of Think BIG and the Sam Wu series

Not just a fun story, The Full Stop That Got Away is also a perfect introduction to punctuation for children!

Ideal for fans of The Day the Crayons Quit

Our Review Panel says...

This is such a fun story that will have children letting their imagination fly and remembering to punctuate their sentences correctly!

Frank is a full stop who never exclaims or questions and likes sentences and stories to come to a succinct end. So when a dragon appears and refuses to let the story end, Frank is not pleased and decides to leave. Cue chaos, carnage, food fights, fire and lots of exclamation marks and ellipsis! When Frank saves the day and swiftly ends the story, Dee the Dragon definitely learns the importance of a full stop, but Frank also learns that sometimes it can be fun to let creativity and imagination loose too.

This book is such a great concept and shows punctuation in such a fun way.
