The book is attractive to the eye which makes kids want to look at it. It has pretty color photos that make kids want to read about the word. Along the side of each page is the entire alphabet which helps younger kids who are learning to look things up in alphabetically order. I've looked at other children's dictionaries and this is the best.
The dictionary is working well so far in my classroom. However, we have found some words that were in previous editions that were not in this newer edition. For instance, many number words were not included (e.g. two, twelve, etc.)
At first I ordered one of these book for my 10 year old twin daughters. I was impressed so I immediately ordered another one so that both of them could have one. This dictionary in very infromative and has really neat pictures in it. My daughters were able to understand how to navigate through it. I would recommend this for children ages 8-11.
This volume is easy to use and is up-to-date, with more "modern" words than our previous one. Its colorful illustrations are appealing, yet it does not have a "juvenile" appearance. My son picks it up & reads both specific choices and random selections. Supplementary sections are also useful, although a "measurements" section would be helpful.
Two boys love it. So did the dog. Now missing the "L" section. Only problem--unlike adult dictionaries where the letters are somehow marked on the edge for easy navigation, this one is not marked. I bought the flippy tabs from the office store and marked mine. Boys are 7 and 9. The older one loves looking up words, my 7 year old would rather dig out his own eyes. But, really useful adn quick delivery. Will be buying another.
I bought this dictionary for the 8yr old I nanny for to use for her spelling homework (to write vocabulary sentences). Even though the previous reviews on this particular dictionary were about 4.5 stars, I was disappointed to see that several of words on her spelling list were not included in this book. The dictionary looks pretty sitting on her shelf, but we hardly use it because it does not contain all the words we need. Perhaps this dictionary will be more useful for children younger than 8yrs (however, I don't see children much younger than that even needing a dictionary).I am not sure which dictionary to recommend in lieu of this one, but hopefully your child can cope without the illustrations and you can get an adult dictionary with a wider vocabulary in it.
The dictionary is perfect for children in that it has many pictures and large print. The only problem I could see is that it is so large, my little student had trouble carrying it home. I wish we had such a dictionary in my home when I was young. Kit T.
I bought this Dictionary for my 6 year old 1st grader as she has vocabulary words to look up daily. Choosing a dictionary is more complicated than I expected because I wanted something with definitions she could understand, as well as something that contained quality words. I must say I am absolutely pleased with this dictionary. It has a large quantity and variety of words, definitions that make sense to my daughter, as well as added information like words used in sentences, fun facts about word origins, maps, color pictures, etc. My daughter has also mastered how to use the dictionary without difficulty. This dictionary will get lots of use from my daughter for the next few years and will be used by my 3 year old when he reaches that point.
