    What is a Descriptosaurus?

    Descriptosaurus is a new and innovative model for creative writing that is a thematic expansion of a dictionary and a thesaurus. It provides children with a comprehensive resource to help them expand their descriptive vocabulary, experiment with language and sentence structure, and build up narratives based around the following areas:

    • Settings – landscapes, settlements and atmosphere
    • Characters – appearance, emotions and personality
    • Creatures – appearance, abilities and habitats

    We are so excited about the launch of our 2nd edition of Descriptosaurus that we would like all schools to get pupils involved in our upcoming National Schools Descriptive Writing Competition.
