I applaud how the author and illustrator have endeavored to created a world that strives to familiarize and make accessible punctuation. The story aims to be universal, however, things get bogged down in the application of each punctuations job and as a dyslexic reader, I found each page with all of the varied fonts, colors, etc, very hard to follow.
This is a beautiful book, the subject matter and overlaying story are at odds with an easy read. But, this IS a useful tool for starting a conversation about punctuation.
