webster's dictionary for young readers

I absolutely adore this dictionary I received as a 6 year old child. Its fantastic. I remember staying up late at night reading it, absorbing new words, phrases, and ideas, while being inspired to turn page after page by the interesting pictures, maps, and graphs included in the back. This dictionary made me the reader I am today, and I have my mom to thank for gifting it to me.

Best dictionary around for young and old

This is by far one of the best dictionaries at a more simple level. Too bad it's out of print. If you can get your hands on this dictionary, get one! They are especially good for grade school children. A nice array of words, easy to read, lots of pictures and example sentences. Get this dictionary!

Good Dictionary for Kids

This is good for older kids not yet ready for the big, adult dictionary. (Probably there are fourth and fifth graders who can deal with this, but it would serve the average reader well through Junior High). Although you won't find etymologies anywhere, some might prefer their kids to see these uncomplicated entries that consist of pronunciation and definitions, with the rare sentence example. There are barely adequate little illustrations, and not always close to the definitions and words they illustrate. All-in-all, a fine kids' dictionary that could use improvement.
