Amazon.com Review
Now including terms such as DVD, browser, rap ("noun, A type of song in which the words are spoken in a rhythmical way to a musical background"), and almost 200 other new entries, this freshly updated version of the perenially popular Scholastic Children's Dictionary continues to keep up with children's rapidly shifting day-to-day world. Easy-to-understand pronunciation guides, sample sentences, word histories, cross references, synonym boxes, illustrations, photos, and language notes all make this a dictionary any child will be sure to use regularly for schoolwork--or even peruse for fun! (Check out the detailed illustrations and definition for space shuttle.) Included also are maps of the U.S. and the world, Braille and ASL alphabets, flags of the world, facts about the 50 U.S. states, and a list of American presidents. This colorful, accessible, illustrated dictionary was designed for real kids living and learning right now. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter

 Great Dictionary December 20, 2008
We got this for my daughter who is 7 and loves to read. She understands the simple language which is used throughout the dictionary. The sentences given as examples on how to construct ones of her own are also very helpful.
Scholastic Childrens Dictionary December 15, 2008
My eight year old has found it extremely entertaining and useful. The pictures and descriptions are well done and down to an eight year olds level.
This is fantastic! November 17, 2008
My daughter absolutely LOVES this dictionary. She has looked in it almost everyday to learn different meanings. She loves also seeing the pictures in the book. It is definitely age appropriate!
Great BUY! November 12, 2008
I received the dictionaries in GREAT condition and at a great price. My students are learning dictionary skills in class and at their home. I purchased the dictionaries so each student would have their own dictionary at home.
the best choice October 24, 2008
I bought this for my 3rd grader after physically going to a bookstore and comparing the few available choices. This was the best in my opinion. My daughter needs to look up about twenty words each week for her class and she keeps thanking me for buying "great dictionary".
