Oxford Illustrated Children'S Dictionary

amazing book for kids, very well explained

Good for beginners

The Pros: 1. More detailed explanations without jargon/ abbreviations which makes it easy for the child to refer 2. Thoughtful layout using colours, pictures and larger font makes it attractive to the young user The Con 1. Its basic. Found it missing a number of words from my 8 year old's Lit textbook Overall Good start if you are seeking to instill the dictionary habit as children may find the traditional dictionaries too drab or even difficult.

Doesn't serve the purpose at all,not a pocket dictionary,it's bulky and the words are not at all helpful
