Different than expected, but still happy

I thought this book was for a little bit younger child, but I was plesantly suprised when it arrived! It's perfect for our 8 year old all the way to the grown-ups in the family. Our 8 yr old likes it because it looks like a "real" dictionary/thesaurus, but is easy to use. He's just learning how to use a real dictionary, so this was a great buy.

5th Grade Elementary student dictionary

Used by my son at school. He said that it is pretty good and his teacher reccomends it.

Just what I needed

I could not expect anything more from a thesauras. This has all the words I, through my preteen years, have needed, without boggling my mind with lots of words that I never try to use. I don't feel overwhelmed, but I DO find the information I need.

_The_Clear_and_Simple_Thesaurus_Dictionary is the most practical thesaurus I have found for use with my fourth- and fifth-grade students. Unlike many thesauruses, it is formatted in a style that students (and adults!) will find familiar and easy to use. While not as comprehensive in scope as those designed for college use, this thesaurus allows students the satisfaction of finding synonyms or associated words for almost any word they might need. I had not found this to be true of other "beginning" thesauruses, which was a frustration to both my students and to me. This gem was a major find, and is now in regular use in my classroom. I highly recommend it to any teacher of intermediate or junior high age students, as well as to parents who want a truly helpful resource for their school-age children.
