a BIG hit

i bought this for my 5 year old niece, and her mother reports that she absolutely loves it. she looks through it constantly, and it is really helping her with her reading. plus it's lots of fun to look at the exceptionally well-drawn pictures and find all the things that start with the letter on that page. i spent time with her at christmas reading the dictionary, and she wanted to see every single page, and really enjoyed finding things like 'asparagus' and 'armadillo'. not the everyday objects many alphabet-type books use. best of all, they're in a kind of 'where's waldo' format, so the child has to look carefully. This book is great for expanding children's vocabulary, and for teaching patience and persistence, because the longer you look, the more things you find.

Great starter book!

Very good starter book for young children. Great pictures, I really liked the large type so it is easy for little ones to relate the words with the illustrations used throughout the book.

excellent beginning dictionary with clear colorful pictures

As a kindergarten teacher, I am always looking for very simple reference books which will teach even the youngest students how to locate and use information. This dictionary does exactly that.I have many copies of the book and they are used hard and often on a daily basis in my kindergarten classroom.
