IT'S AN AWESOME DICTIONARY October 8, 2008
I RECOMMAND THIS DICTIONARY, IT IS AWESOME. I BROUGHT IT FOR MY LITTLE BROTHER WHO IS IN THE THIRD GRADE. AND SO FAR, EVERYTIME WE LOOK UP A WORD THAT HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND IT'S THERE. THE DEFINITIONS ARE SIMPLE. IT WAS A GREAT CHOICE.
Excellent first dictionary August 25, 2008
We found this to be an excellent first dictionary. Most things that you want pictures of do have pictures, and the pictures are very appropriate and have helpful captions (usually a sentence describing the picture). The definitions manage rather well to explain the meanings of simple words in even simpler words. Also, with 5,000 words, almost all of the words in a beginning reader's reading vocabulary will be included.
 Good for Beginner Readers August 10, 2008
This is a beautifully illustrated dictionary with easy to understand definitions. I gave it 3 stars because I bought it for my 6-year-old daughter, and I find that too often this dictionary does not have the words that she needs to look up. Now I need to buy an additional dictionary to supplement this one.
So well-done I wanted to keep it for myself! May 30, 2008

DK Children's Illustrated Dictionary is way beyond a mere dictionary. It's a fabulous learning tool with wonderful illustrations. It's just great how perfectly the pictures help clearly define the meaning of the words.
Guaranteed your child will fall in love with this dictionary, and not only use it to look up words for homework, but be enthralled with it for just fun, flip-through reading for hours on end.
You'll never find a better children's dictionary!
Great dictionary May 5, 2008
After reviewing several dictionaries, I picked the DK for my 5 year old son. It is truly a great choice: it has bright colors,attractive illustrations and a comprehensive base for beginning readers and writers. The side tabs have the letters in bright colors which make it easier for young children to find the respective words they are looking for. The definitions are easy to follow, but clearly defined.
I warmly recommend this dictionary to other parents who are looking for an initial, but comprehensive academic resource.
