The Last Thesaurus

A poem set on a dinosaur-ridden planet agog with odd life-forms and minor earthquakes. Bert and Brunhilde Brontosaurus are engaged in a close encounter with Tyrannosaurus Rex, and it hinges on the intervention of a curious creature which acts like a walking thesaurus.'This is a book to dazzle and bewitch the young . . . they will discover at an intuitive level all the glory, colour and power of words . . . Our language is well served by this book.' Times Educational Supplement
