Editorial Review:
Product Description: The Scholastic Children's Dictionary has been revised and updated for the first time in five years. The revision will include:
--16 new pages of back matter, including a grammar and punctuation guide, photos of the presidents, a map of the continents, a map of Canada, and more!
--Dozens of new and updated entries
--Photos of several of the new entries
--A fresh new cover design in the same style as the revised Scholastic First Dictionary, the Scholastic Children's Thesaurus and the Scholastic Children's Encyclopedia. This will give the Scholastic Reference line a cohesive look.
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

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!

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.

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".

I ordered the Scholastic Children's Dictionary for my third grader. When it arrived, he wanted to look at it, and couldn't put it down. It was interesting to him and well illulstrated.

I purchased a number of dictionaries to be used by all the students in a small school. The entries included pronunciation, syllabication, and multiple definitions. They are visually pleasing and thorough enough for third and fourth graders.
