Customer Reviews

Perfect for KS2 (2008-07-31)

My son needed something more than his picture dictionary, but not so large he lost interest in looking a word up - and this is perfect.The only down side is the size (A5) and being a hardback, it is a little heavy for carrying around on a daily basis.

Fantastic resource for all children (2000-10-09)

This dictionary was recommended by my mother - a primary teacher over over 20 years experience as the best infant dictionary around. Having purchased it - I can only agree. Fully supports the National Curiculum.
