comparisons

We are working on using comparisons in our folk tale writing.
Here are a few:
as strong as a dinosaur
as big as the Lowell School
She swims as slow as a snail.
as quiet as a mouse
My broomstick is as flightless as a chicken!
They were as loud as breaking glass.
He was as mad as an angry gorilla.
The gingerbread man is as hard as the moon.
as tall as a mountain
She bakes him as hard as a rock.
The stars run as fast as a cheetah.
The cow was as big as all 5 oceans.
as mean as a rhino
Abiyoyo is as stinky as a swamp.
as red as a tomato

Some students also used an inverse comparison, in which they name an attribute that is the opposite of what you would expect. These can be fun to read, because they set your reader up to think you are saying one thing, and then you surprise them by saying something different!
The wand is as smart as a cupcake.
He is as smart as a peanut.
Mr. Mouse is as small as an elephant.
