I'd also like to take this moment to say that while I appreciate this story, exclamation marks should be used sparingly, particularly outside of dialogue. With bright colors and simple drawings, it will quickly capture the eye. In short, this is a story of discovering your own, unique abilities, loving yourself for them, and being loved for them. He goes to show off himself to the periods, who love him as well for what he can do. The question mark badgers exclamation mark, and exclamation mark tells him to STOP! Question mark likes exclamation marks emphasis and exclamation mark begins to experiment with what he can do. Then he meets another outsider: the question mark. He tries to fit in, but he just can't, and that upsets him. It is a story of a punctuation mark who feels like an outsider in a world of periods. The story itself is a good story to be telling children. I think it might go over the heads of the young children who will be reading it, but it certainly made this English major/grammar fiend giggle, and I think that it will please parents too.
