The Fox And The Ghost King Teaching Resources – PowerPoint Presentation

The Fox And The Ghost King In a cosy den under a garden shed lives a family of foxes. They love to watch football – all foxes do. But their favourite team keeps losing and losing, and it seems like things will never look up.

That is, until Daddy Fox finds the ghost of a king, buried underneath a car park. A king who wishes only to be free.

“Release me,” says the Ghost King, “and I can do anything. Just tell me your greatest wish.”

For these football-loving foxes, might everything be about to change…?

Meet The Foxes Imagine a family of foxes – Mum, Dad and the four of us little cubs – living in our den under a garden shed in Leicester. That’s us. I am the oldest, and I am the boss cub too, the friskiest, the peskiest, the pushiest. Dad likes that because it reminds him of himself, he says.

Q. What do these words tell you about the fox cub?

Exploring Vocabulary Choices oldest - has lived for the longest friskiest - the most playful and full of energy peskiest - the most annoying, always causing trouble pushiest - the one that most tries to get his or her own way Q. Why might Michael Morpurgo have chosen to use the superlative?
