Rating: Summary: Just what I needed Review: I could not expect anything more from a thesauras. This has all the words I, through my preteen years, have needed, without boggling my mind with lots of words that I never try to use. I don't feel overwhelmed, but I DO find the information I need.
Rating: Summary: How can I describe this Thesaurus Review: This thesaurus is: Fantastic Excellent High Quality Stupendous Superiour and least, but not last, very good!All joking aside, it's a thesaurus. It's a good value and as good as any other thesaurus.
Rating: Summary: Elementary Teacher Prizes This Book! Review: _The_Clear_and_Simple_Thesaurus_Dictionary is the most practical thesaurus I have found for use with my fourth- and fifth-grade students. Unlike many thesauruses, it is formatted in a style that students (and adults!) will find familiar and easy to use. While not as comprehensive in scope as those designed for college use, this thesaurus allows students the satisfaction of finding synonyms or associated words for almost any word they might need. I had not found this to be true of other "beginning" thesauruses, which was a frustration to both my students and to me. This gem was a major find, and is now in regular use in my classroom. I highly recommend it to any teacher of intermediate or junior high age students, as well as to parents who want a truly helpful resource for their school-age children.
