5.0 out of 5 stars Great picture dictionary, May 11, 2005

By	Trace-ita (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

What makes this dictionary so great is that it is not in alphabetical order and it is based on themes. For example, there is a classroom theme on a page and all of the words that have to do with what is in a classroom. Also, I like the fact that their are numbers next to the object and then all of the words in Spanish and English are at the bottom half of the page. This allows you to cover up all of the words and quiz yourself.

This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to build their vocabulary.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Resource!, March 6, 2001

By A Customer

I teach an adult ESL class and have discovered that this book is a resource I really cannot do without! In combination with the teacher's manual, it has become a valuable resource for teaching new vocabulary to my students. When I first started using it in my lessons, the students skimmed through it and were very impressed with the variety of pictures arranged by themes. After using it at home, they have ALL told me that it is a wonderful book and are so thankful they have it!

5.0 out of 5 stars good, clear, colorful pictures for beginner or advanced, May 12, 1999

By	K. lang (San Rafael, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I use with a multi-level class and everyone likes it. Pictures and definitions can spark discussions. Divided into sections which are color-coded by topic. Very full resource for the price.
