5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent cartoon illustrated book to build up vocabulary.
There is a set of these Usborne Beginner's Dictionaries (German/French/Spanish/Italian). They are reasonably priced. I have been using the German book. They are illustrated with humorous cartoons.

1.0 out of 5 stars Children's Comic Book Dictionary
If you purchase this book believing it is a dictionary, it is not. It is essentially a comic book and does not organize words in an alphabetical fashion, rather it is organized into cartoon situations and applies speaking phrases to them. If you are looking for a word dictionary, this is not it. Also, "diction" defines pronunciation attributes as well as...

By A Customer
This review is from: Usborne Beginner's German Dictionary (Beginner's Language Dictionaries Series) (German Edition) (Paperback)
There is a set of these Usborne Beginner's Dictionaries (German/French/Spanish/Italian). They are reasonably priced. I have been using the German book. They are illustrated with humorous cartoons. Vocabulary is divided up into specific situations with the pertinent vocabulary i.e. appearance and personality, buying food, at the postoffice, politics. If one has a basic knowledge of German grammar, this book is great aid to brush up on vocabulary in specific situations without having to go through a regular dictionary to find specific words for specific situations. Great for children as well as adults.

This review is from: Usborne Beginner's German Dictionary (Beginner's Language Dictionaries Series) (German Edition) (Paperback)
If you purchase this book believing it is a dictionary, it is not. It is essentially a comic book and does not organize words in an alphabetical fashion, rather it is organized into cartoon situations and applies speaking phrases to them. If you are looking for a word dictionary, this is not it. Also, "diction" defines pronunciation attributes as well as word selection. This book contains little pronunciation help, as would be expected in a "dictionary". The book is written at less than a sixth grade level. This would be an excellent book for children, but not for adults.
