Nice sentence! It’s playful. Here’s a simple way to make the punctuation clearer for a 5-year-old.

  • Why change it? “Boop” is a little sound or exclamation. It works best as its own short piece, not connected by a comma.
  • What to do: Put a period or exclamation mark before or after “boop” so the sentence reads clearly.

Two simple corrected versions:

  • With its super nose, an echidna can feel a bug move in the leaves. Boop! Found it!
  • With its super nose, an echidna can feel a bug move in the leaves — boop! Found it!

Either version is fine. The first is very clear and easy to read for young children.
