5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Kids!, 11 Aug 2004
By no1filmaddict (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Oxford Junior Dictionary (Hardcover)
My parents brought me this wonderful Oxford dictionary when i was just seven years old as they thought that it would help me a lot with my spelling and general understanding of the English language, which is so hard to understand even now! However with this supurb reference for kids between the ages of about seven to nine although of course it can be used before or after this age bracket if nessesary.

This revised version of the Oxford Junior Dictionary is all set out as simply as possible so that young children will be able to understand it easily and not feel too daunted. Each word is in bold font and printed in red so you can easily tell the words from the description. Next to each word in a smaller font is the part of speech, either noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, or preposition. Again next to that there are written any other forms that the word may come in, mainly plurrals. Underneath these three things there is much simplified definition of what the above word in red means. Also included with the definition is an example of who the word could be used in a sentence, a phrase, and any derived words. All this is explained simply in the front of the dictionary so that children can find out for themselves the layout of the book.

At the age that this dictionary is designed for, many children have not yet learned their alphabet fully or if they have then may find it hard to work out in their heads. For this reason there is a list along the top of every page with the whole alphabet and if for example you turn to the G's then the G on the top of those pages will be highlighted in red so that children can easily see where they are in the alphabet and decide whether they need to go forward or backwards to find the word that they are looking for.

Another great extra feature is that in the back of the book there are some basic facts for children, such as the days of the week, the months of the year, units of time, shapes, numbers, and countries and peoples of the world. These can come in really useful if you want to know for example how many days there are in a leap year, or what the people in Holland are called.

Overall, 'The Oxord Junior Dictionary' really is a brilliant book with only the nessasary words for children and with all the definitions simplified to their basic meaning. Designed for children between seven and nine, this book is a winner and really is a must-have to help children during there first few years of school. Whether used at school, at home, or both this book is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a dictionary with 'really good words'!, 8 Dec 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Oxford Junior Dictionary (Hardcover)
I wanted this dictionary because it has very good words like agitation and metamorphosis and I like it a lot because it is very useful for school work. My mum is going to get it for me as it is the same as the one I use in my school library and it goes with the Oxford Junior Thesaurus. The print is very clear and it gives you a little bit of information underneath the word. I dictated this and mum typed it.
