Thesaurus Rex - Softcover

'Thesaurus Rex is a lovably cheeky dinosaur that will engage both boys and girls alike, while introducing a plethora of exciting new words. As this colourful character gets through his day, eating, exploring, playing and eating some more, he displays and irresistible way with words. Encouraging children to explore synonyms, Rex's adventures feature alliteration, repetition and rhyme. It's a clever mix of fun and learning that can be read aloud to those as young as three, but also discovered alone by six-year-olds and over. Debbie Harter's vibrant watercolours make this picture book with a purpose all the more appealing.' --Ink

'Filled with descriptive language, the text offers numerous synonyms for each activity...The bouncy, rhyming language is enhanced by bright watercolour-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, STARRED REVIEW
