so-soIt was... okay I guess? I had been expecting a more detailed history from conception to the present, and this was more of a meditation once the author got past some 19 century warring grammar guide writers. Which isn't bad, but it also wasn't what I wanted to read.
Been prevented from reading by Adorable Kittens, but this one should be pretty fast.

so-soThe actor Max Greenfield writes a book about not wanting to read a book. Though considered a #PictureBook , there are less illustrations but more word graphic designs. I can see the concept appealing to kids looking for a laugh or who can relate to a lack of interest in reading a book. Just meh for me. #BBRC #LetterI

pickThis was an interesting book about symbols we use in writing, their history from handwritten manuscripts to modern printing, and further changes with online text. I especially enjoyed the chapters on the pilcrow, octothorpe, and manicule, all of which I also think qualify as weird words. I was not as interested in the discussion of irony and sarcasm and attempts to identify them in print.

I think that the book is so fun for younger students because it is so silly and quick. It is a good quick attention grabber book.
so-soThe author uses a short variation on words to get his story across. Although its not real words he uses it to tell a story that makes sense. The colors the authors use are bright and powerful and make this a silly fun book.
