Curious Creature Expository Writing

In The Talking Eggs, Blanche sees all kinds of crazy animals. What other creatures could have lived on the old woman’s farm?

Dream up your own fantastic animal for the farm. Think of an appropriately crazy name for the animal, and write a descriptive paragraph about the creature. Use at least 3 similes or metaphors in your writing. Your paragraph should include:

            1. a physical description (what it looks like)
            2. what the creature eats
            3. what it does for fun
            4. what kind of magic it can do
            5. a color illustration (separate paper)

The descriptive paragraph must be word processed. Grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. will all count so double check your work.
