The Scholastic Visual Dictionary uses 700 startlingly clear illustrations of these and many other objects and processes to help define over 5,000 words. Arranged in easy-to-browse sections such as Sky, Earth, Clothing, and Measuring Devices, the dictionary helps build kids' (and perhaps adults') vocabularies. The featured words and concepts range from very simple, like shapes and colors, to relatively complex, like helicopter parts and musical notation. The complete alphabetic index in the back helps locate particular words quickly, and while there's no usage guide, the book is simple enough for even the youngest reader to pick up and begin using at once. (Ages 7 and older) --Rob Lightner Product Description: Whether a child needs to know the parts of a frog, the parts of a violin, or the parts of a castle, that information is easily found in the beautifully illustrated Scholastic Visual Dictionary. The Scholastic Visual Dictionary is a wonderful resource for schoolwork. Children's knowledge of new words and facts will build thanks to the book's logical, sequential design. Each topic offers many kinds of information. For example, a student interested in ecology can discover information about acid rain, pesticides, and water pollution in one clear diagram. This book offers a number of cross sections, including a tooth, a volcano, and a space shuttle. This approach to illustration helps children understand their world from the inside out. The Scholastic Visual Dictionary is also the perfect title for leisurely browsing. Kids will be delighted by the sections on sports, music, and other leisure activities. With its appealing, unique approach to knowledge, the Scholastic Visual Dictionary is a must for every home library.   Read More, Buy It Copyright © 1996-2005 PrimaSoft PC, Inc. All rights reserved.
