A Great Christmas Present

... for family, friends, and teachers, is this: I Laid an Egg on Aunt Ruth's Head.

Why? The book is funny, the book is poignant, the book is breathtaking ... well, okay, one out of three ain't bad. The book is funny, all modesty aside.

Do you know someone who appreciates word play / banter? Do you know someone who appreciates the finer points of grammar? Do you know someone who has an Aunt Ruth who drives him or her crazy? Do you still have presents to buy?

If the answer to that question is yes, then consider the book. It is NOT a basic grammar book. It is a book of humorous short stories that help guide / mentor the reader toward correct usage of grammar in some of those hard to remember spots of the English language. Topics such as: lie and lay, hopefully, comprise, split infinitives, dangling participles, dropped infinitives, principal and principle, affect and effect, may and can, good and well, its and it's, comma usage, and many more are covered in this book.

Try it! I Laid an Egg on Aunt Ruth's Head. You'll like it.
