4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good dictionary, May 17, 2000

I had originally gotten this book for my 8yr old but it was a little too advanced for her. The text is small, more like an adults dictionary as opposed to a child's dictionary. The definitions are not easy for younger children to read on their own. It is however very clear so she did understand the definitions after having them read to her. All in all it is a very good choice.

This review is from: Merriam Webster 75 Merriam-webster's elementary dictionary, laminated hardcover edition (Hardcover)

I purchased hard cover Merriam-Webster's Elementary Dictionary for each one of my First Grade Class to give at the end of the school year as a special prize. The next day two of the boys brought their dictionaries back to school with ALL of the bird pictures in the dictionary marked to show me. Each one could also read the description of the birds pictured. This is a very complete, well illustrated dictionary for any American child aged 6-14. I can see years of use for each dictionary as the children progress to upper levels. I plan to purchase the same dictionary for my class next year. I have several Scholastic dictionaries in the classroom but they are not as well researched as Merriam-Webster.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for what my son needed., March 4, 2009

This review is from: Merriam-Webster's Elementary Dictionary (Hardcover)

I wanted a dictionary for my 8 year old son that was user friendly for a child of that age. I wanted clear, easy to read meanings for the words that wasn't over his head. It was exactly what I had hoped for. He loves it and prefers to use it over asking me to help him (not that I mind helping him)!!
