One of my priorities on returning to the LRC was to ensure I bought our copies of the much anticipated Once Upon a Slime written by Andy Griffiths and illustrated by Terry Denton.
Take the Slime test to see if this book is right for YOU…
- Have you ever wondered where ideas come from and how stories are made?
- Would you like to know the true stories behind some of Andy and Terry’s books and characters?
- Would you like to discover 45 great ways to have fun with words and pictures?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, then this is definitely the right book for you!
Once Upon a Slime is filled with 45 fabulous ideas using examples from Andy and Terry to encourage you to play and have fun with words and pictures – speed writing, jokes, lists, excuses, quizzes, cartoons, creating super heroes and more. You never know, YOU could end up being the next Andy or Terry!!
In his Introduction, Andy shares how he has always had fun with words and pictures and this led to him becoming a writer. Andy says…
“You don’t have to be a great artist – or a great speller – to be able to have a great time with words and pictures.”
So go on…buy or borrow this book and try some of the ideas We’d love you to share with us what you do!
