在書裡，標點符號「小句號Frank」一直乖乖守規矩——安安靜靜地停在句尾，不多話、不大聲、不發問。他的工作是結束句子，讓故事整齊有序。但有一天，Frank忽然覺得厭倦了，他決定不再做「乖乖的句號」。於是，句子開始沒完沒了，故事變得亂七八糟，甚至鬧出許多令人捧腹的笑話！
《The Full Stop That Got Away》是一個充滿幽默和奇思妙想的故事，不僅讓孩子哈哈大笑，也透過Frank的「大冒險」，輕鬆引導孩子認識標點符號的重要性。它告訴我們：每一個小小的角色——就算是一個「小點點」——在語言世界裡都不可或缺。這本繪本兼具趣味與學習，非常適合朗讀與啟發孩子的語文想像力。
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?
