Should be included on your child's school supply list!

This is a super book that will not only increase you and your child's vocabulary, but will become a useful tool for your kids' writing assignments for school! I've had numerous writing assignments come home from my grade school kids that required rhyming and creative writing. This book came in SOOOOOO handy, it really gave us an advantage and allowed us to create more vivid stories than trying to come up with rhyming words instead of out of our over used and limited words off the top of our head. When in question, we reach for THE SCHOLASTIC RHYMING DICTIONARY! RECOMMENDED!

Great for younger people intrested in poetry!!!

This book is a great book for any younger person intrested in writing poetry, songs, raps, and etc. I think that this book is very easy to use and understand. I know I have said that this book is mainly for kids, but I am 15 and I still use this book for a lot of peotry that I write for school. So basiclly it is a great book for most people to use. The book also has funny pictures in it to help you know what the word is. Overall this is a great rhyming book. I hope my review was helpful to you!

A great book for poets of all ages

I bought this book to use when I teach poetry to children, and ended up using it for my own poems, too. This book is useful and lots of fun.

Good for poems

When you need to make up a poem, a story, a song, a rap, a slogan, or a greeting card, this book comes in handy!

A more useful reference book than you'd imagine...

Wow! I was really surprised with the quality of this book - It is a very well organized book of rhyming words, which is a handy thing to have around! The rhyming words are listed alphabetically by number of syllables. I bought 3 of these for friends of mine who are going into University journalism courses, and they were thrilled. These things aren't just for "ages eight and up" as it states on the back; everyone can have fun with a rhyming dictionary! It's also really fun to just read the rhyming words out loud quickly in front of a group of people. It's an excellent "coffee-table book" in that sense! More fun than a barrel of monkeys!
