Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-7 More than 2000 entries with an average of 3 synonyms per entry. Many of the entries include an antonym printed in red type. A section entitled "Using the Thesaurus" explains entry words, guide words, synonyms and antonyms. It also elaborates upon words with more than one meaning and words that are spelled alike. The format is open and non-threatening, making the book accessible to young readers. The black-and-white line drawings are pleasant but unnecessary. Clear and Simple Thesaurus Dictionary (Grosset, 1971) by the same authors has the same format but contains more entries and a more difficult choice of words. A handy and valuable reference book. Jean M. Silady, Hillview School, New Providence, N.J.

This review is from: A First Thesaurus (Turtleback)
This is the best young Thesaurus we have found. It's organized similar to "the big boys" and is easy to read and use.

great book!,
By "barbpl" (MA ,USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A First Thesaurus (Paperback)
I bought this for my 6 year old. She loves to read and really loves to write stories. She can use this book, but it will also grow with her. She should benefit from this one for several years. In the meantime, we have a lot of fun as she's learning "what another word for___?"
