Definitions for approximately 1,500 words have been carefully chosen to help build the vocabulary of young children. Six hundred full-colour photographs further illustrate their meanings. Each entry is designed to provide readers with easy-to-understand definitions. Illustrative example sentences show children what words mean and how they should be used. In addition, a simple phonetic pronunciation follows each entry. The updated edition of this best-selling dictionary has been redesigned and includes new entries like e-mail and DVD as well as dozens of new photos.
