Theo is a little dinosaur who loves big words. They are often words his playmates have never heard before. Him using such big words causes some confusion and misunderstanding. Even when he invited friends to his birthday party they do not understand what he means. Will any body even come to his party?

Adorable story and delightful pictures. I read this cute book to a class of third graders. They loved it and thought that every elementary library should have a copy of this book. They loved the illustrations and the big words. I was surprised at how many of them knew the meaning of a lot of the words. Definitely a "must read" book. I loved it!
