Kavi Reads It Flat, Then With Feeling
Kavi the owl reads a line in a flat, sleepy voice. "Boring!" he laughs. "Now watch the end marks. A ! means read it loud and excited, a ? gives my voice a little lift at the end, and a full stop . means take a tiny pause. Read it with me — and let your feelings show!"
