Summary: A great source of learning
Comment: I got this book for my children (3 & 5)and am impressed with the content; great pictures, great number of entries, and clear explanation. I like the tabs and I can see my 5 yr old enjoying the book for years to come. This book is more like an encyclopedia and I highly recommend it to any families with young children.

Summary: Great for kids!
Comment: This dictionary is easy to use, has great pictures, and is written is simple language that is easy for children to understand. I got it for my granddaughter who is in second grade. It has been very useful to her and to me as I help her with her homework. So far, every word we have attempted to locate has been found in the dictionary. So I vould say the dictionary is very inclusive. I would recommend it to anyone wanting their child to get familiar with the use of a dictionary.

Summary: More than enough
Comment: This dictonary is so full of wonderful pictures. It is just what I wanted for my girls. I looks more like an interesting book rather than a reference book.

Summary: Nice dictionary but paper quality isn't that good
Comment: I have a 6 year old daughter in 1st grade and she's enjoying this dictionary a lot. Now whenever she asks me what a word means we go in and look for it and have it read her self. The book has a lot of illustrations and a lot extra information. My daughter loves it and keeps it close by as she reads lots of books. My only complain is that the paper is of low quality which seems will tear up easily. I was expecting something like a thicker glossy paper for the price.

Summary: Fantastic Resource
Comment: This childrens Dictionary is fabulous. We bought it for my childs 7th birthday and she absolutely loves it, as do we. Just the right amount of pictures and text to keep their attention and certainly a dictionary to grow into. I envision her using this for at least the next three years and hopefully a lot longer.
