Free teaching resource for The Minpins by Roald Dahl. Printable.
Pupils draw a detailed cross-section of a hollow tree showing the Minpins' world inside: their homes, furniture, lighting, food stores. Encourage careful attention to scale — everything is tiny.
Billy never tells anyone his secret. But pupils write it down as if they were Billy writing in a private diary the night after his adventure. What was the most wonderful part? The most frightening?
