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.

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 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.
