Corinna's favorite book. She loves the 'b' words because it includes 'birthday'!

The editors, writers, and illustrators for all of the Dorling Kindersley Books are first rate.

3.5 Stars. I like to use this type of book to expand the vocabulary of very young children.

I didn't except much from this book when my son got it for his birthday but he has turned out to love it. Each letter has several words with a pictures and an easy to understand definition of each word. He asks to read a page before bed each night. He is at a stage where he loves to learn the definition of things and he also enjoys the extra we add to each object as we go over it.

This is a fabulous first dictionary. My grandson and I sit and browse every day. He is almost two, and has an extensive vocabulary. We turn to a page and I say, "Which word would you like to hear about." He says the name or points, and we read the blurb. It is just great!
