Great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I bought this for my nine year old granddaughter. Since I have the adult version and really like it, I thought she may enjoy a book that you don't have to read cover to cover or chapter by chapter. She enjoyed this book so much that it was the book she chose to take on vacation with her. There is so much to learn on each page.
The Dictionary Every American Should Own
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This dictionary is essential for everyone, not just children. This should be in every household and in every classroom, it has the basics organized in sections such as language arts, math, science,and visual and performing arts. Every child should be taught this information before graduating from 8th grade and every adult with a college education really should know all these facts, ideas, theories, and movements.
Best book ever

Not Only Your Child
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is a valuable item for all New Citizens as well as for any adult who's had a "whole word" education. I give a copy to any new colleagues from a non-English speaking country.
This is a useful book for high school freshman.

I was surprised to discover how many common proverbs and phrases are confounding to high school freshman. This book has helped me to better understand the cultural awareness that these students have not yet acquired. It has also been a useful tool for working to bridge that gap.
