SPAN THE SPINOSAURUS

Hi Friend,
You’re about to embark on a “dino-mite” adventure with
me, Span the Spinosaurus™! 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 pilot
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’, high flyin’ fun!
Your pal,
Span the Spinosaurus™

INTRODUCTION
I’m Span the SpinosaurusTM, and I’m the biggest carnivore of all time!
My huge size, long jaws, and sharp teeth make me a meat-eating
machine. And if that doesn’t scare you, the massive sail on my back will!
Let me give you some advice. When you see the sail, you better bail!
As a dinosaur I rule the land and the water, and as a plane I rule the skies!
I can turn into a super-fast jet ghter and y faster than the speed of
sound! That means I’ll be on top of you before you even hear me coming!
