Synopsis
A bind-up of the existing Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Repair Kits, this book combines the humour of the regular Repair Kit characters - clever Zelda, swotty Colin and not-very-bright Steven - with technical help and clear advice on the English language. Contains spelling, punctuation and grammar exercises for the reader to work through. Illustrated throughout with humorous cartoons.

Customer Reviews
An essential reference and repair guide
I was shown this by a relation who had bought it to help with teacher training in English. My English is fine but there are elements of grammar that I was unaware of.
The book is full of helpful ways to remember things - essential for children and useful for those who are . . . children at heart! It makes grammar "fun" (something I thought was impossible).
It really should be used really widely in schools.
