Synopsis
The Loch Ness monster has surfaced, and it turns out she's a Grammarosaurus! Nessie and her friends, all experts on grammar, have come out of the lake to save the world from grammatical crisis. As reporters, tourists, professors and grammar-lovers converge on Loch Ness, the Grammarosauri are only too happy to explain all about capital letters, plurals, contractions, subject-verb agreement, complete sentences, and punctuation.
