Product Description
The updated Scholastic Children's Dictionary features nearly 200 new entries that will keep this evergreen title current and competitive. The new words have been carefully chosen. They are words that kids are likely to encounter, and we are confident that they are words that will remain in use for years to come. New entries include air bag, browser, cell phone, DVD, Internet, server, SUV, and Web site. The updated Scholastic Children's Dictionary still boasts the elements that made the original edition so beloved by children, parents, and teachers. Pronunciations are spelled the way they sound--not with confusing symbols and schwas. Sample sentences and cross-references help to make words even easier to understand, and full-color illustrations provide additional information.

Scholastic Children's Dictionary
This an excellent book for young people. The print is large,bold and the illustration are realistic and colorful. It's a fun book for children to use. The guidelines that are given are most helpful in teaching a young person how to correctly use a dictionary. I especially like the illustrations of the alphabet used in Sign Language. This is a great way for young people to expand their knowledge.
Just ok
I bought this book along with the children's encyclopedia for my seven year old daughter and a few of the words that we were looking for weren't present in this dictionary.
The order I haven't received and I got all the return
I haven't received the right order because the seller said out of stock. Anyway the seller was very helpful to refund all the amount to us. It is OK!
The Hub of All Knowledge
Children love this book. It gives a feeling of power to look up words they are reading in class. They will stop reading, look up a word and go back to reading. It is a pleasure to observe.

My 5 year old son loves to page through this book and I think he can really grow with it and use it for many years,
