Description
|
|
|
|
Illustrated with hundreds of color drawings by artist , designer, and children's book author Ruth Heller, this beautifully produced book defines almost 3,000 words with conversational explanations for readers 5 to 7. Yet it is much more than simply a dictionary; each entry encourages language exploration through word histories, jokes, stories, poems, fun facts, engaging example sentences, or amusing rhymes, in various combinations, as well as providing synonyms, antonyms, and cross-references to encourage pursuing additional information.
