Pling's Party Arielle Haughee

What happens when an exuberant exclamation point keeps taking over a story? Things get pretty interesting...

Pling is an exclamation point--he adds excitement to stories. He has one rule to follow: he can only appear twice in the story. As the tale of three goats unfolds, Pling has trouble staying out of the story until he's needed. Things get a bit out of hand and hilarity ensues.

In this book, children will learn to identify exclamation points in text as well as observe how an exclamation point makes sentences more exciting. They can practice reading with emphasis, and discuss the difference between how a sentence is read with a period versus an exclamation point.
