Thesaurus Rex by Laya Steinberg, illustrated by Debbie Harter

From chapters.ca:
Encourage children to explore synonyms using the adorable Thesaurus Rex. Rex, a dinosaur who has an irresistible way with words, will "slither, skid, slide, and glide" his way into children’s hearts. Paired with Debbie Harter’s vibrant watercolours, Laya Steinberg’s energetic text will engage even the youngest of audiences. But Thesaurus Rex is more than just fun: the alliteration and end rhyme foster phonemic awareness, the action-verb synonyms strengthen young readers’ vocabulary and the succinct text builds pre-literacy skills.
