Review & Description

The Scholastic Children's Dictionary has been revised and updated for the first time in five years. The revision will include:

--16 new pages of back matter, including a grammar and punctuation guide, photos of the presidents, a map of the continents, a map of Canada, and more!

--Dozens of new and updated entries

--Photos of several of the new entries

--A fresh new cover design in the same style as the revised Scholastic First Dictionary, the Scholastic Children's Thesaurus and the Scholastic Children's Encyclopedia. This will give the Scholastic Reference line a cohesive look.

Now including terms such as DVD, browser, rap ("noun, A type of song in which the words are spoken in a rhythmical way to a musical background"), and almost 200 other new entries, this freshly updated version of the perenially popular Scholastic Children's Dictionary continues to keep up with children's rapidly shifting day-to-day world. Easy-to-understand pronunciation guides, sample sentences, word histories, cross references, synonym boxes, illustrations, photos, and language notes all make this a dictionary any child will be sure to use regularly for schoolwork--or even peruse for fun! (Check out the detailed illustrations and definition for space shuttle.) Included also are maps of the U.S. and the world, Braille and ASL alphabets, flags of the world, facts about the 50 U.S. states, and a list of American presidents. This colorful, accessible, illustrated dictionary was designed for real kids living and learning right now. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter Read more
