My six year old daugther loves the dictionary! I think it pretty cool too.
Not as expected

Not as expected. My child likes Macmillan Dictionary for Children much more than this one.
Perfect for eager minds

I bought the book for my seven year old grandnephew. He especifically asked for it after he saw it in a book fair. The dictionary is ideal for young explorers and excellent for that age level.
A nice start for 1st and 2nd graders...

This book is a nice place for first and second graders to start when they need to look up a word. It has 650 color illustrations (drawings and photographs), 1,800 entries, and pretty well covers the beginning words used by young readers. Each entry has a definition, as well as uses the word in a sentence to give context. If there is more than one definition, they are numbered in order of common usage. Variant forms of the word are listed at the end of the definition. The illustrations are bright and cute, and the type is large enough to facilitate easy reading.My only real quibble with this book is that there is no pronunciation guide given for words. I realize youngsters might not be able to use such a guide all the time, but it would be good to have anyway. All in all a nice book for the 5-7 age range, but if you're looking for older kids, look elsewhere.
Well Prepared for First Grader

Here is a dictionary that your son/daughter will enjoy using, as well as learn. Sounding out words and being able to see a picture of the word is an extremely powerful tool. I highly recommend it.
