Our family has greatly enjoyed the Scholastic Children's Dictionary, so it made sense to also get the Scholastic Children's Thesaurus. What a disappointment! Nearly every word my fourth grader looks up (for school work) is not in this book. It is pretty much useless for her school work. Don't bother with it!
My child is in 3rd grade and must look up synonyms. Very few of the words on her lists are in this book. This is not a helpful book at all. I guess I should buy an adult thesaurus for 3rd grade!
I love the Scholastic Children's Dictionary however this thesaurus is not a compliment to that item. There are not enough synonyms offered for each word and there are not enough root words. Horrible.
I don't use it as reference to look-up synonyms. That can easily be done online or by using a more comprehensive thesaurus. I asked my 7-year old daughter to read the book entry by entry to expand her writing vocabulary. She already knows most of the words. Now she has an aid to organize and learn the nuance of the words, as each synonym also comes with its own explanation. On the other hand, many other thesauruses only list synomyms without any explanation. With each root word, there are only a few synonyms, so it's not overwhelming and perfect for browsing without getting tired quickly.
Nice pictures and easy to use for younger kids. But it's EXTREMELY limited. My daughter couldn't even use it to search for "little"! So limited that I'm searching for an alternative. An adult thesaurus is daunting for a 2nd grader, but this doesn't meet our needs.
Kinda skimpy on number of entries for 2nd grader. I would recommend when buying a Thesaurus for your kid to check for the number of word entries to see if its appropriate for your child's age group. Next time I would purchase one with more entries. Otherwise its a good resource for 1st grade or below.
These are a good level for my Firsties. We have fun making a game looking for "juicy" words! Another good tool for teaching the abc order concepts, also. Public school had torn and tattered books, so I bought my own set!
Its a must book for any pre-k/k/1/2 graders (your mileage can vary).However, it is up to you, parents, to have your kids to use this book. If your precious asks you for a word definition - don't just tell them, send them to look it up in the book, you know, like "...give them a fish/teach them fishing..." story.This thesaurus has enough definitions and based on my humble opinion - a must!
