Theo TheSaurus: The Dinosaur Who Loved Big Words

★ 2022 Best Books All Young Georgians Should Read
"Younger logophiles may savor the wordplay and appreciate the “Defino-Dino” who occasionally pops into view with a helpful definition." — Kirkus Reviews

Theo TheSaurus is a little dino who loves words—the bigger the better! And he’s determined to share that love with his new classmates in his new school, no matter that they don’t understand him at first. But when a suggestion to play conceal-and-search (or hide-and-seek) only earns him looks of confusion, Theo realizes that misinterpretations can actually just be plain confusing! It’s only when his newfound friends find a way to show they care that Theo learns that sometimes, there are things more important than words.

The picture book also includes words and definitions to increase vocabulary and literacy.
