Primary school teachers and their students will laugh throughout this silly concept book.   Dee is guilty of eating the letter E and replacing it with what she/he calls Apostrofee.  The graphic comic layout enhances the behavior of anthropomorphic letters who argue among themselves.    The stick figure art is sure to appeal to the primary grade audience.  Colors used for letters and text make the book bright and cheerful.

While the book reinforces rules of punctuation it will not circulate frequently in the public library.   It is a more appropriate purchase for grade K – 3 school media centers and for classroom collections.  Art teachers would appreciate a gifted copy of DEE and Apostrofee.
