Reviewer Quotes
"This dictionary goes beyond other picture dictionaries with only attractive artwork. This one directly contributes to the learners' overall development in the use of the vocabulary in context through short and informative readings and conversations. Congratulations!"
Bari Ramirez - Stockard Middle Schoo, Dallas, TX
"[This book] offers far more challenge and motivating activities than most dictionaries, basic or otherwise, while maintaining an uncluttered, appealing visual impression to the reader. Its exercises offer a chance for critical thinking and active learning, not just passive, rote memorization."
Sally Gearhart - Santa Rosa Junior College, Santa Rosa, CA
