THEO THESAURUS AND THE PERFECT PET

Theo TheSaurus is back in a brand-new pet-friendly adventure with big words and even bigger fun! This series is Fancy Nancy for dinosaur lovers.

Theo longs for a pet of his very own. So when he finds a baby sabretooth tiger, it feels like the perfect match. But when Theo's big vocabulary makes it difficult to train his new pet, Theo must find a different way to communicate with Fang if he wants to hang onto his furry companion.

A sweet and funny book filled with bright art, a lovable dino character, and a full glossary of big words at the end, readers have tons of fun--and learn some new words along the way! It's FANCY NANCY for the dino-loving set!

Key selling points:
- FUN WITH WORDS! This is a book that makes vocabulary fun and silly!
- LOVABLE DINOSAUR CHARACTER + SIDEKICK! Theo TheSaurus is a wonderful and spunky character, and together with Defino Dino, there's loads of series potential!
- PETS, PETS, PETS! Whether it's cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies, or fish, kids love pets and will understand what Theo is experiencing in this book.
- FUN ART! Mike Moran is back to illustrate, adding a whole extra layer of fun to this story.
