    • Very Educational and my children LoVe it!
The colors, the pictures , the ease of access for a growing mind. This Dictionary is the best for excited learners, my kids didn't want to set it down. The day it arrived they spent three hours reading , giggling, and learning together. I have three children and the amount of joy to show each other something they found inside that they liked and learn together . Just melts my heart , sometimes not so much with all other things 😂😂 Give the Gift of Knowledge to those whom matter most with this dictionary ... show more

    • A wonderfully illustrated and appropriate Dictionary for the age group
Truth be told, I actually ordered this dictionary for my grandson due to a one star review from someone who disliked it because there was no reference to a homosexual lifestyle or the alphabet soup lifestyle. Now before you go and flame me with the typical progressive name calling that we have all come to expect, I am a small business owner and I have 2 homosexuals, one female and one male, that work for me. They are respected because they are good people. SO let's take this one step further. The one star reviewer makes no mention that there is also no entry in this dictionary for "heterosexual" either. A typical move of the progressive indoctrination crowd. Here is a wonderful dictionary that lets children be children. As children age, they can discover and explore in their own appropriate time the vagaries of our age. ... show more

    • Wonderful addition
Review Image by JoLyn JoLyn
Perfect dictionary for children. Wonderful addition to a homeschool classroom, or for children in traditional school. Too much time is spent googling words, this gives a hands on approach to learning which is beneficial for an early learner. We are very pleased with this dictionary, as well as the ease of use, vivid cover, and illustrations throughout. ... show more

Happy with this dictionary. Sent previous “new addition” dictionary back as it has adapted to the culture and changed definitions of gender as seen below . Go with this one , safe and not confusing for your young readers :)

    • ABSOLUTELY the best
My son is in the 3rd grade and has to write weekly definitions to his spelling words as a homework assignment. I tried several dictionaries out and couldn't seem to find the right one for him. The 1st one had words that were way too small. The 2nd one was a large print dictionary, but I found that it didn't give descriptive definitions and it didn't have all of his spelling words inside. I was starting to get discouraged.....and then I purchased this dictionary. IT IS WONDERFUL!!! I go on and on about how thrilled I am with it every time my son and I use it. The writing is just the right size and there are many colorful and descriptive pictures to help further explain some words. I have found every single word in it. It is thick. The first time that I purchased this dictionary it appeared to be a used product. It had a few scratches on it and a few marks on some pages. I contacted customer service, and I received a replacement the very next day. Now THAT is some speedy service! The replacement was in perfect condition. I just chalked it up to knowing that these things happen from time to time. The issue was resolved in such a timely manner that it didn't even matter anymore. PLUS...I was so thrilled with how wonderful this product was that I couldn't be anything but thrilled about it. I have no complaints whatsoever and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with an elementary aged child. ... show more

    • A must have for young readers
It's so easy to use an electronic dictionary, but I love the old fashion paper dictionary. This dictionary caught my attention because of the colors, visuals, box texts, and text information. And so I bought it for my 8 year old daughter. I love how she flips through the book and stops at certain pictures and boxes to read the content before finding her words. It's additional education without the extra work on my end. And she understands most of the definitions. When I received the dictionary, there was a large ,thick crease down the front cover as if someone took a peek into the book bending the hard cover without bending the hinge/joint. And so, I gave this review a 4 stars instead of 5. ... show more
