Customer Reviews

Favorite children's dictionary

This is the dictionary that our younger kids like the most. We got it for our daughter when she was about 10. Now our 8 year old daughter uses it. This dictionary has lots of pictures, is easy to read, and has thousands of words. We also purchased a copy for an adult friend who is mentally disabled. She has trouble with adult dictionaries, but enjoys this one.

GOOD RESOURCE FOR YOUNG READERS

This modestly priced impeccably executed volume offers definitions in easy to understand language plus pronunciation guides, sample sentences, and over 1,000 fine illustrations. In addition, there are mini-features focusing on world leaders, history, and countries. An excellent book to help young ones become accustomed to using reference material
