Great resource

My girls love to read this just for the heck of it. Lots of pictures and easy to understand definitions.

Perfect!

After receiving the Thesaurus, we looked up several words, as a "test". Every word we looked up is in there! I actually ordered 3, one for each of my boys, who are 7, 9 and 11. GREAT BUY!

So Good My Teacher's Getting a Classroom Set for Christmas!

I was looking for a good thesaurus for my 3rd grader, one that he could grow with. Good writing is all about good words and new ways of saying things. Everyone should have a thesaurus! I love this one. After receiving it, I liked it so much I wanted to buy a class set for my school. First I wanted to make sure everyone liked it as much as I did. My Mom, an elementary school librarian, praised its clear format. My son's teacher loves the pictures, the antonyms and that words are used in an example. The school Prinicipal said American Heritage is always his favorite too. After all that, I am ordering a classroom set for my son's 3rd grade teacher. I am hoping that eventually there will be one for each student 3rd grade and up!
