Every child who loves Roald Dahl's stories knows all about the
diabolical giants in Giant Country, how beastly Miss Trunchbull is
and how unpleasant it would be to eat a slugburger, but have they
spotted all the clever ways Roald Dahl uses language in his
brilliant stories? Have they discovered how to write about animals
and people in a way that makes their own stories wild? This little
book brings together Roald Dahl's made up words as well as lots of
real ones and gives ideas and techniques to inspire young writers.
Children will discover onomatopoeic words like snort and snarl,
metaphors and puns, how to blend words together to make their own
new words and how animal vocabulary works for describing both
people and creatures, as well as how names like the Bonecruncher
and Mr Wormwood can tell us so much about the characters.
Illustrated throughout with Quentin Blake's artwork, this book is
part of a four-book set which, through the magic of Roald Dahl's
writing, will help to build children's confidence with language
while having mischievous fun!
