This is now my #1 favorite mentor text for teaching word choice. If you can get past the fact that it&#x27;s about a cockroach that plays with his food (gross), you&#x27;ll find that it&#x27;s jampacked with vivid verbs and adjectives like &quot;scrambled,&quot; &quot;chortled,&quot; &quot;eensy,&quot; &quot;brilliant,&quot; &quot;stammered,&quot; &quot;gasped,&quot; &quot;howled,&quot; &quot;insisted&quot;... and the list goes on.   use with Razzle, Dazzle word unit
