Oxford Junior Illustrated Dictionary (Oxford Junior Illustrated Dictionaries) Paperback – 24 May 2018

Hopefully, there comes a time when a 5 or 6 year old is reading both independently and for pleasure. Our little granddaughter has taken to reading in bed before "lights out" or early in the morning if she wakes before the household is up and about. There comes a time where you realise they are reading "big words" and trying to understand what the word means from the sentence context, but that doesn't always work. (Roald Dahl introduces quite a few new additions to a child's vocabulary!) I realised our little one wasn't always grasping the meaning of a word and simply skipping onwards, so I needed a good first dictionary for her to look up anything she was stuck on. This dictionary is ideal and sometimes she just picks it up to have a rummage through the content at random, sometimes with relevant illustrations.Very pleased with this purchase..

I gave this to my 7 year old grandson.He loved looking up new words. We made it fun.Good starter book, well made. Perfect price

Ideal gift for kids

A bit dissapointed in this. The first 3 words my daughter was curious about was not there! Dung, twine and perilous. As far as I could understand 'perilous', I cannot get not having "twine" and "dung"...

Does the iob!

Good Quality

Most common words are missing from the list.

Nice features - alphabet down the edge of each page shows them clearly where they are.The first and last word of that page is shown at the top (it stops them going through every single entry on every single page for their word until they get into the habit of checking that themselves).Simply worded definitions and a very good selection of words for their age group (I’d say 6-9), at 7yo we have only had to go to a ‘big’ dictionary once for schoolwork.
