Description
This playful dinosaur will "slither, skid, slide and glide" his way into children's hearts! Encourage children to explore synonyms with the loveably cheeky Thesaurus Rex, who has an irresistible way with words. Action-verb and noun synonyms feature throughout Laya Steinberg's energetic text which, paired with award-winning Debbie Harter's vibrant watercolors, will engage boys and girls alike. The alliteration, repetition and rhyme featured in this delightful book will also help to foster speaking and listening skills.
Reviews / Votes
"Filled with descriptive language, the text offers numerous synonyms for each activity...The bouncy, rhyming language is enhanced by bright watercolor-and-crayon illustrations that create a wonderful sense of movement. One picture shows the happy dinosaur jumping into a swamp; brown mud splashes cross over to the opposite page where he is shown again, no longer smiling and buried in the slime. An entertaining and painless way for children to broaden their vocabulary while enjoying a fun story." -- School Library Journal "School Library Journal"More details
