베스트셀러 그림책인 "Duck! Rabbit!(오리야? 토끼야!)"를 함께 만든 Amy Krouse Rosenthal(글), Tom Lichtenheld(그림) 2명의 최고 인기 작가들이 다시 손을 잡고 만든 베스트셀러 그림책입니다. 국내에서는 "느낌표"라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간되었습니다.

이 책의 일러스트레이션은 만국 공통인 '문장 부호'를 활용하였습니다. 마침표, 느낌표, 물음표 세 가지만을 가지고 이야기를 이끌어갑니다. 문장 부호를 의인화하여 마치 아이의 모습처럼 보이며 마침표들의 웃는 표정, 느낌표의 당황한 표정과 슬픈 표정, 놀란 표정, 물음표의 궁금해 하는 표정들도 아이가 직접 그 감정을 느낄 수 있을 만큼 생동감이 넘칩니다.

모든 문장에서 숱하게 사용되는 마침표들 사이에서 너무 다른 모습을 가진 느낌표!
느낌표는 왜 자신만 다른 모습을 하고 있는지, 그리고 자신이 하는 역할은 무엇인지 자신의 정체성에 대해서 고민을 하기 시작했습니다.

그러던 어느 날 느낌표는 물음표를 만나게 됩니다. 느낌표를 만난 물음표는 수많은 질문들을 퍼붓기 시작하고, 참지 못한 느낌표가 "Stop!"하고 소리를 질렀습니다. 그리고는 그 문장 속에 자신이 있는 것을 발견했지요. 물음표는 그런 느낌표를 보고는 다신 한번 더 보여달라고 부탁하고, 자신감을 얻은 느낌표는 일단 조그만 목소리로 "Hi!"라고 한 후 "Howdy!"라고 조금 길게 인사를 건네네요. 그런 자신의 모습을 재발견하고는 "Wow!"라고 감탄하고는 느낌표의 무한한 가능성의 세계가 열려 있음을 깨닫게 됩니다.

Yipee!
This is fun!
Way to go!
Bravo!
You're it!
Cool!
Yum!
That's great!
Thanks!
Home run!
Congraturations!
Happy Birthday!
Go!
Encore!
Look out!
Wake up!
Boo!

이제 자신도 문장에서 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 깨닫게 된 느낌표는 마침표 친구들에게 달려가서 이 소식을 알려줍니다. 마침표와 물음표 친구들로부터 인정을 받게 된 느낌표는 이 책의 마지막도 자신이 마무리하네요. "The end!"

What is 하드커버? 양장본이라고도 불리우며, 표지가 단단한 판지로 만들어진 책입니다. 판지를 천이나 가죽으로 감싸기도 합니다. 책의 속지는 일반적으로 중성처리된 종이(Acid-free paper)를 사용해서 잘 변질이 되지 않기 때문에 오랫동안 보관하기에 적합합니다. 이 종류의 책은 더스트 재킷, 또는 더스트 커버로 불리는 표지덮개가 함께 있는 경우가 많습니다. 간혹 내부 속지가 콩기름 코팅이 된 경우 고약한 냄새가 나는 책도 있습니다.

Book Description
From the bestselling creators of Duck! Rabbit!, an exciting tale of self-discovery!

He stood out here.
He stood out there.
He tried everything to be more like them.

It's not easy being seen. Especially when you're NOT like everyone else. Especially when what sets you apart is YOU.
Sometimes we squish ourselves to fit in. We shrink. Twist. Bend. Until -- ! -- a friend shows the way to endless possibilities.
In this bold and highly visual book, an emphatic but misplaced exclamation point learns that being different can be very exciting! Period.


Booklist *Starred Review*
From the dynamic team that brought you Duck! Rabbit! (2009) comes this introduction to the most exuberant punctuation mark of all: the exclamation point. At first, !, a round circle with a face, doesn’t like standing out in a crowd; in a line-up of seven smiling faces, which look like period marks, he’s the only one with a line above his head. ! tries clever ways to fit in (flipping himself upside down, thereby squashing his tail) and even thinks about running away, until he meets a formidable force: the question mark. After a barrage of questions from ? (“Do you like frogs? Can you hula-hoop?”), ! finds his voice and tells him to “STOP!” From there, !’s confidence begins to grow and, soon, there’s no stopping his unbridled joy. The spare, clever illustrations - all round, black-outlined punctuation marks with faces - are set on the kind of thick-lined paper kindergarteners use, and the overall design effect is lovely. The text is similarly simple, but a change in the size and color of the font signifies important moments. With the celebrating-your-strengths angle, fun grammar lesson, and many classroom tie-in possibilities, this picture book deserves a !!!. Grades K-3, --Ann Kelley


Kirkus *Starred Review*
"Punctuation with pizzazz.
How does an exclamation mark learn his purpose? Pre-readers and readers alike will giggle and cheer to see the process. The setting is a warm yellowish beige background with a faint pulpy pattern and repeating horizontal lines with dotted lines halfway between them - penmanship paper. Each bold, black punctuation mark has a minimalist yet expressive face inside its circular dot. “He stood out,” explains the first page, as the titular protagonist looks on doubtfully. He tries hanging around with periods, but squishing his extension down into a spring doesn’t really work; even prostrate, “he just wasn’t like everyone else. Period.” (Hee! Rosenthal gleefully puns instead of naming any punctuation.) Mournful, “confused, flummoxed, and deflated,” the exclamation mark’s line tangles and flops. Then someone unexpected arrives. “Hello? Who are you?” queries the newbie, jovially pummeling the exclamation mark with 17 manic inquiries at once. “Stop!” screams the exclamation mark in enormous, bumpy-edged letters - and there’s his identity! The outburst’s anxious vibe dissipates immediately (and the question mark is undaunted by being yelled at). Finally, the protagonist has “[broken] free from a life sentence.” Snapping up usages that match his newfound personality, he zooms back to show the other punctuation marks. The zippy relationship between exclamation mark and question mark continues beyond the acknowledgements page."


School Library Journal *Starred Review*
"Through a perfect pairing of clever design and tongue-in-cheek humor, Rosenthal and Lichtenheld effectively demonstrate the function of the exclamation mark (as well as the period and question mark) in this tale about a depressed punctuation mark that just doesn’t fit in. On an unadorned backdrop of lined paper, several periods and one exclamation mark are lined up in a row. Clearly, he stands out in a crowd. Like Elmer in David McKee’s classic tale, the exclamation mark struggles with his difference and tries to blend in. When the downcast punctuation meets a question mark who overwhelms him with inquiries, our hero finally finds his voice and tells the other to “Stop!” From there, he builds his confidence in making declarative statements and leaves the group “to make his mark.” Rosenthal shines in her play on words (“It was like he broke free from a life sentence”). Lichtenheld’s minimalist style is deceivingly simple; a curlicue or crumpled line, combined with an amazingly impressive circle with eyes and a mouth, is all that’s needed to convey emotion when the exclamation mark is “confused, flummoxed, and deflated.” This fun-to-read tale will find a ready home in language-arts lessons, reminding burgeoning elementary-age writers which punctuation personality belongs in which type of sentence-without the tedium that accompanies traditional grammar lessons. This one is a must-have!!!
