Reviews
Author and illustrator Pam Stainton has been teaching literacy to young children for most of her career. This delightful book, filled with colourful and quirky characters, takes a new approach to using everyday punctuation. Appropriate for children of all ages, it is a fun and useful way to learn the basics.

Thank you Pam, what a refreshing way to introduce young children to basic elements that make up a sentence. My Year 1 class really enjoyed Miss Punk and her naughty alphabet, they especially loved Mr Exclamation Mark who was yelling all over the page!

Pamela has created a great little story that clearly explains, step by step, why letters need to be used with a few rules to keep them in line and help the reader. Pamela’s experience of working with children clearly shows through the colourful character of Miss Punk-Chewation.

Miss Punk-Chewation to the Rescue is a fun-filled book that will delight children of all ages. Teachers and parents alike can use the story to to expressly teach grammar rules or just enjoy the story.
