Descriptosaurus: Myths and Legends builds on the vocabulary and descriptive phrases introduced in the original bestsellingDescriptosaurus and within the context of myths and legends 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, to combine their descriptions of setting and character, and show how they interact, so that the reader can experiment with heroes, gods and supernatural beings to create a legendary story.

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.
