The original, much-loved Descriptosaurus,is now in its 3rd edition and provides support to school teachers at KS2 and KS3.

It is a thematic expansion of a dictionary and a thesaurus, providing children with a comprehensive resource with which to expand their descriptive vocabulary, experiment with language and sentence structure and build up narratives based around a broad range of settings, characters and creatures.

This Descriptosaurus case study by Sarah, a year five primary school teacher in Morpeth Northumberland, explains how she used the book to improve her childrens creative writing and capture their imagination.
