Our family has greatly enjoyed the Scholastic Children's Dictionary, so it made sense to also get the Scholastic Children's Thesaurus. What a disappointment! Nearly every word my fourth grader looks up (for school work) is not in this book. It is pretty much useless for her school work. Don't bother with it!
Scholastic Children's Thesaurus - John Bollard
Bought this based on a 5-star review? WHY??
My child is in 3rd grade and must look up synonyms. Very few of the words on her lists are in this book. This is not a helpful book at all. I guess I should buy an adult thesaurus for 3rd grade!
John Bollard - Scholastic Children's Thesaurus
Get this for your child!
This is clear and easy to use reference book. It includes sentences using the words in context, helping with comprehension.
As a child I loved to read and write, so at some point in my life my Mom introduced me to a Thesaurus. To this day it is one of my best friends. Thanks mom.
There are adults who do not even know what a thesaurus is!
Do your kids a favor and introduce them to a thesaurus!
