Happy Thesaurus Day!

     Today is the birthday of Peter Roget, the author of Roget's Thesaurus.  The thesaurus is a wonderful resource to help find synonyms of words.  No, not cinnamon as school kids seem to delight in saying whenever the subject of synonyms is brought up. But maybe synonyms actually do have something in common with this spice.  Synonyms can "spice" up your writing by using interesting words.  But what does a thesaurus, which literally means treasure store have in common with a Barefoot Book?  If you are fan of Thesaurus Rex you will know that our Barefoot Book "follows this mischievous dinosaur as he frolics, rollicks, frisks, and romps.  Each colorful page introduces simple synonyms and a fun-filled way to build vocabulary and word recognition."
  For readers ages 3 to 7 years. Written by Laya Steinberg and illustrated by Debbie HarterOur Thesaurus Rex definitely has a way with words!  Available in paperback for $6.99 or hardcover for $15.99   So celebrate Thesaurus Day and spice up the life of your favorite child with our favorite wordy dino.  (click on photo to shop)
