Dr Xargle's Book of Earthlets

I used this book in KS2, to support work that the children were doing about spoof report writing. It's quite an entertaining read, and provided lots of talking points for the children. They were able to look at how the authour used language to humerous effect and provides a stimulus for children to write their own spoof reports.
