Dee and Apostrofee, by Judith Henderson

D and the other letters are a bit put out with Apostrofee for gobbling up so many letters and taking their places. It’s full of examples to show the purpose of an apostrophe.. It’s cute, but I think I’ve seen other books that do the job better. A lot of the examples in this one are not common uses and/or don’t follow the usual pattern, and yet no explanation is given (i.e. shan’t, d’ssert, s’pose, d’plorable). At first I wondered why they misspelled Apostrofee’s name, but then I noticed the author is from Quebec, so it could be a Canadian spelling.
