This is an excellent resource for beginning readers and writers. I use it in my first grade class. It has great pictures and easy-to-read text

She likes it and it was a lot less than the one at the bookstore. Fast delivery.

This dictionary is colorful and easy to read. Although the age range states four to eight-year-olds, I think that it is better suited for four to six-year-olds. I bought this for my seven-year-old, but it's more appropriate for his younger brother who will start Kindergarten this Fall. It would also be useful as a supplement for a higher-level dictionary.

This is a bery good bokk for small children. My daughter loves her book and uses it regularly, she is 5 years old and in Kindergarten.

Our 15 month old daughter found this book, which belonged to our older daughter. Our littlest one now grabs this book and heads for daddy's rocking recliner about 10 times a day! She loves to point out and try to babble words out with me. Our friends and family are impressed when we asked her to show us an Owl, and she can turn the pages and point to it!! She can now identify many many objects, animals, colors, etc.

This book is great and easy to read!

After receiving this dictionary my 5 year old daughter called me at work said this book is for 'babies', kind of embarrassing as a dad. The item description says age 4-8 years, however the back cover indicated 4-6. I personally verified and this book is definitely NOT for children above 5 years of age. My 5 years old daughter's vocabulary is quite mature than what this dictionary has to offer. The only plus point are the illustrations.

This was my son's favorite book. We took it everywhere we went. I started going through it with him, page by page, when he was about a year old. By the time he was 18 months old, he had it memorized and of course had his favorite pictures. I made up silly stories about some of the pictures, which he found hilarious. It's a great teaching tool. My son is now 18, but I have so many wonderful memories of the times we spent together reading it! I'm buying it for my friend who is adopting a toddler from China. The child speaks no English so I'm sure it will be enormously helpful to her.
