McGraw-Hill's Spanish Picture Dictionary

By McGraw-Hill Education

Book Overview

Gives exciting new meaning to the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words

Perfect for children ages four-nine, these references employ stunning illustrations and photographs to bring to life the meanings of hundreds of essential terms. Filled with beautiful two-page spreads, McGraw-Hill's Spanish Picture Dictionary and McGraw-Hill's French Picture Dictionary each pictorially define more than 1,400 objects, people, concepts, and actions common to the everyday world of kids--from town and country, kitchen to classroom.

Following the curricula of U.S. primary-school Spanish and French programs, the dictionaries also provide key phrases for children's first conversations incorporated within illustrated minidialogues that provide models for making introductions, commenting on the weather, stating their age, talking about what they are wearing, and other basic conversational situations.

A great way to introduce Spanish and/or French, the dictionaries feature:

Great little dictionary

I am old (I remember when the dinosaurs walked the earth and dirt was new!) and I am taking a spanish class. My instructor suggested that we find one of these 'first' dictionaries to use as well as a regular spanish/english dictionary. I am very pleased with this one. I like the way the words are grouped and that the verbs are sub grouped together. Once I don't need it any more, I'll probably pass it on to my grandkids! But I do recommend this, even to adults who are new to the spanish language, it's a great dictionary and I use it a lot.

Excellent

It has excellent illustrations. Some are cartoon but it also has realistic pictures of things noncartoon style. It has also a lot of words including a little seek and find game.
