Scholastic Children's Thesaurus

by John K. Bollard, Mike Reed (Illustrator)

The revised SCHOLASTIC CHILDREN'S THESAURUS contains over 500 headwords and 2,500 synonyms specifically chosen for young writers, and an all-new design makes this book more user-friendly than ever. For this revised thesaurus, more than 500 alphabetical headword entries and 2,500 synonyms have been specifically designed to best help beginning writers. Each headword has been carefully selected and includes the part of speech, definition, and example sentence. Synonyms following each headword are also defined and followed by a sample sentence. These sentences help the reader see how the word is normally used, and also illustrate the grammatical constructions that they are often used in.

[Barkshire Woods · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brought this home along with a few other reference books for our first grader. I'd say a thesaurus is above what she can do right now but we plan on having this lying around so that she can practice glancing through it to look at the pictures and casually checking it out now. Within a few yrs, she may even use it more seriously. Its a great introduction to what a thesaurus is for elementary aged students.
