With its portable format, this new, fully revised, edition of the Oxford Color Dictionary is an excellent all-purpose resource. It covers over 85,000 words, phrases, and definitions and is suitable for everyone, even elementary school students.
The emphasis is on clarity and accessibility, and it boasts a whole new design. With all headwords, inflections, derivatives, and phrases in color, it is very easy to find the information you need quickly and easily. Definitions are written in clear, simple terms, avoiding challenging vocabulary. Extra help is provided in the form of pronunciation guides for difficult words; a simple respelling system; in-text notes that give guidance on spelling, usage, and selected word origins; and boxes that cover general grammar points, such as pronunciation, word building, and pronouns.
Whether perusing the text to double-check a word's spelling or using the volume to learn for the first time a word's definition, this handy, colorful dictionary is the perfect choice for all ages.
