A Thesaurus Kids Can Relate To

I like the font of this thesaurus. The font is reasonably big so that children can follow along - not like regular thesauruses that even I find difficult to read for long. What I didn't like was that the pictures were not that interesting. Often the drawings had very little to do with the text and was just an additive to, I guess, make the page pretty. Kids need to read something that attracts them, that keeps their attention, and pictures always do that. It is hardcover and has many, many words that are given and replaced with and so I do like the book. It is just a little below what I expected from scholastic books. For the money, however, I find that it is a great buy!

a book to add to the library at home

This is definitely a book to have if you have 2nd to 3rd graders at home. It will make homework much easier and studying as well.

Get this for your child!

This is clear and easy to use reference book. It includes sentences using the words in context, helping with comprehension. As a child I loved to read and write, so at some point in my life my Mom introduced me to a Thesaurus. To this day it is one of my best friends. Thanks mom.There are adults who do not even know what a thesaurus is! Do your kids a favor and introduce them to a thesaurus!
