5.0 out of 5 stars If you teach children you must have this book!, March 8, 2000
By A Customer
This book is an amazing resource for children. My children literally fight over who gets to use the book next. I highly recommend it for any classroom grades 4-7.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you teach children you must have this book!, March 3, 2000
By N. Tanner LeBaron (Marks, Mississippi, USA) - See all my reviews
Teaching fifth graders English is a large task. It is hard to find meaningful resources to assist in the writing process. I highly recommend this thesaurus for any teacher wanting to improve student vocabulary and teach reference skills. My children literally fight over who gets to use the book next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what we needed, December 11, 2001
By Deangela S. Chastain (Gillsville, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a homeschooling mom I was furstrated with the old edition we were trying to use. This one has been perfect though I know we will have to get a more advanced one as the kids get older.
