Descriptosaurus: Fantasy Résumé

Descriptosaurus: Fantasy Alison Wilcox

Descriptosaurus: Fantasy builds on the vocabulary and descriptive phrases introduced in the original bestselling Descriptosaurus and within the context of fantasy develops the structure and use of the words and phrases to promote colourful, cinematic writing. This essential guide will enable children to take their writing to the next level. It incorporates the essential skills and creative devices that are used in other genres while extending to themes of battle, sieges, magic and mystery to unleash children's imaginations.

This new system also provides a contextualised alternative to textbook grammar and will assist children in acquiring, understanding and applying the grammar required to improve their writing, both creative and technical.

Descriptosaurus: Fantasy Avis

The book incorporates the essential skills and creative devices that are used in other genres while extending to themes of battle, sieges, magic and mystery to unleash children's imaginations. The outstanding feature of the books to me is the superb way in which they introduce a phenomenally wide vocabulary; a fundamental part of descriptive writing, but an area where inspiration can be sadly lacking - but not when these books are to hand! Fantasy is a hugely popular genre with young readers and the ideas in this book will really inspire them. A book not to be missed. - Sarah Brew, Parents in Touch
