2.0 out of 5 stars Useless for everyday words October 22, 2012
By frisky2000 VINE? VOICE
Bought this for my elementary school children for homework help. Why would a children's dictionary begin each section anywhere but at the beginning? For example: The section with letter "c" begins with the word "calamity, calculate, calculaion", etc. What happened to words that begin with letter before the letter "L"? Take a look at letter "t" and you'll find the first entry is "take" --- not sure why they would omit words beginning with letters before "k" but this is what happened throughout the book. Out of the 12,000 synonyms and 10,000 antonyms offered, 75% of the words my kids needed to look up were not even in the book. As for antonyms, unless you need the oddball words that are included in this paperback, you won't find much help here at all. I give it two stars only because it is colorful and there is a useful brief section in the back with Parts of Speech which is helpful if your kid needs to be reminded of the differences between pronouns, adverbs, prepositions, etc.
In general, I think Scholastic is better for fiction and non-fiction books, not for reference guides. I will stick with Webster or Roget next time. |
