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
