Answer: apostrophe in "children's book"

rotaryphones wants to know: Where does the apostrophe go in "children's book"?

This is covered obliquely in the Possessives and Sibilants post, but it's worth addressing directly for greater clarity. ( Our friends from Due South will help us determine the answer. )

usage:punctuation, usage:possessives, punctuation:apostrophe, author:green_grrl

It also makes me pay extra attention to the rules explained, because I don't want to disappoint Fraser. ;)
