love garfield

Initally purchased this for one of my daughters. Now this one is for my grandson. I still have my daughters Dictionary at my desk and people always come by to borrow it. (wheres Garfield?) they ask!

Good for Kids but Incomplete for Adults

I get really bored using those thick and heavy dictionaries that have such small fonts i'd get dizzy looking up words. this is where garfield helped me, the font size used in this dictionary is just right and the comics made looking up words something fun to do. although some words were kinda inappropriate for some of the comic strips, it nonetheless got the essence of the word. this dictionary has enough words for let's say kids and teenagers but as you read adult books, you'll find words that aren't in this dictionary anymore. i'll have to go back to my good old merriam-webster collegiate dictionary 11th ed. but then again this dictionary was made for kids aged 9-12 so it's all good, it serves its purpose. a good buy for kids who'd like to learn and for adults who want to be entertained.

Not your average dictionary!

I needed a dictionary for my son (3rd grader), and he told me he used a Garfield dictionary. He said this was the one he used when I showed him the picture. I was so surprised when I received it, to see that its just like a normal dictionary, except there are comics in it, using examples of words in the dictionary. It can be used for children or adults alike.

Children of all ages

This book has humor for all ages of people. It adds a humorous aspect to looking up words. I guarentee that if you like Garfield that you will love this book! There is a garfield comic on every page which uses one of the words on the page. It is used in a humorous context. You will never look at a dictionary the same again.
