MacMillan Dictionary for Children

I've given this book to two of the kids in my life...my granddaughter and a family friend. Both kids love the book, keep it near them, use it at every opportunity. It's filled with wonderful material for all ages. I keep a copy here at my house and will buy it again and again for the kids in my life. Grandma Hannah

I owned this book when I was a child and still remember vividly the reference section and how I used to peruse the book for fun. My older sister bought it for me when I was nine years old. Well now I'm a 32-year-old speech-language pathologist, and I promised my 7-year-old niece the other day that I would buy her a dictionary. To my amazement I found the very dictionary that brought me so much delight as a child. I am so glad to see this "gem" is still in print.

This is absolutely the best dictionary for children I have found. It has large print, concise yet accurate definitions, and numerous, absolutely beautiful illustrations. Children love to thumb through it just for fun--the information flows in by osmosis!
