Review
We often evaluate children's dictionaries by first searching for the word "iguana." Why? Because many kids like iguanas, and might just need to know how the word is spelled. If "iguana" is listed, and in this 1997 paperback edition of Websters II Children's Dictionary it is indeed, then we move on to the word "e-mail." Alas! It's not there, but "software" and "hardware" and other computer terms are. Designed for the use of elementary-school students, this dictionary features a kid-friendly layout: pages of small- to medium-sized type, interspersed with 1,200 two-color line drawings; word histories ("The month of August was named by the Roman emperor Augustus. He named it after himself."); and synonym boxes. Still, this is not a reference for beginners--the pronunciation keys use the schwa (an upside-down e) for example, and though a key exists on every spread in the bottom right corner, it will be difficult for a new reader to decipher word pronunciation. Browsers who make it all the way to the letter z will find an appendix that includes measurement and conversion tables, events in U.S. history through 1995, U.S. presidents and chief justices, the Braille alphabet, maps, and more. (Ages 8 and older)
