From Booklist:

This version appears to be identical to The Kingfisher Illustrated Junior Dictionary (1997) for ages 7 to 10 except that most of the special features have been eliminated in favor of a thesaurus. The dictionary portion has approximately 4,000 entries and 600 illustrations; the thesaurus has more than 5,000 headwords. RBB
