Hi Friend,

You’re about to embark on a “dino-mite” adventure with
me, T-Don the Pteranodon™! Just so you know, I’ve been
specially created just for you and am part of the VTech®
Switch & Go Dinos™ crew! Switch & Go Dinos™ are a
special breed of dinosaurs that transform from vehicle
to dino in a few easy steps. You’re going to love playing
with me!

Not only can you help me do some wicked transformations,
but you can help me do other cool things, too! Customize
me by choosing my eyes in dino mode or picking a driver
when I’m in vehicle mode! Try pushing me on the ground
or pressing a button and you’ll hear me make awesome
sounds! Press another button to hear me talk, and I’ll tell
you all about my wild life as a dinosaur! Maybe you’ll even
learn a thing or two.

For more fun, be sure to check out the rest of the Switch &
Go Dinos™ crew (each sold separately)! And remember,
with me you’re in for some dino switchin’, road racing fun!

Your pal,

T-Don the Pteranodon™

INTRODUCTION

My name is T-Don, and I’m a high yin’ Pteranodon! I use my huge
wings to soar through the air and my toothless beak to swallow my
food whole.

Whether I’m ying through the air as a Pteranodon or rolling on the
ground as a car, I love to race, and I’ve got a need for speed! Think you

can keep up with me? Let’s nd out!
