1: Excellent first dictionary
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.

2: Good for Beginner Readers
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.

3: So well-done I wanted to keep it for myself!
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!

4: Great dictionary
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.

5: Splendid Resource!
Excellent book for beginning readers thru elementary school. My kindergarten granddaughter couldn't stop reading it and thoroughly enjoyed looking up suggested words and reading the definitions. She asked for a "book with big words" for her birthday gift and this made her day, she is soaking up new words like a sponge! This dictionary makes comprehension easy and teaches children how to use references all in one step. I will definitely be buying other copies for relatives and friends and I highly recommend it for those avid readers "to be"!
