I really like the book because it has simple words for my brother and not just that but it also has picture which was awesome and easy for me to teach my little brother to understand what the word mean. I don't really like the fact that the book was damaged and has ripped edges because on the description didn't fit well with what i believe it says. Overall, everything was okay with me.
This is a "must have" if you have children up to the age of 14 or so. Perfect for those between 5 and 12. It is full of all the things a dictionary should have (so kids actually learn about alphabetical order, syllables, word origins); but the actual definitions are not overly long and are easy to understand. It has a few good illustrations, enough to keep younger students interested. It also has flags of other countries, a map of the U.S., state facts, list of presidents, and the Braille and American Sign Language alphabet in the back. It even has a section on "how to use this book". It is a little on the heavy side-but all good dictionaries should be! It is just right for those it is intended for-children. In this day of "everything computer"-I like to know that I am providing training in how to find what is needed in a book! Nothing against computers, but everybody should know how to find information "the old-fashioned way"! And this is a perfect way to start out doing just that!!Read full review
As a teacher, I can say that many kids buy this dictionary. Inevitably, someone wants to look at it and soon it is circulating around my classroom. It is easy to use, and it helps kids become familiar with a dictionary without being too threatening. The graphics, pictures, and bold text make the book easy to use. I highly recommend this great reference tool!
Great deal for a small time tutor. Teaching vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, etc. Thank you. Now my kiddos do not have to share a book or wait their turn.

I have bought this dictionary for my classroom. I teach 3rd grade and it is perfect for young students to use. It has words that this age child uses and can read, it is not too detailed, and it has all parts of definitions but in an easy to read format. I highly recommend this dictionary.
I bought this Dictionary for my eight year old grandson. He has loved looking up words for his homework. This book is easy for him to read and understand the definations and the pictures in this book are very colorful. He will be able to use this book for many years to come.
Great Deal!! Perfect for Middle Schoolers to learn from.
