The Clear and Simple Thesaurus Dictionary: Revised! Fully Updated!

After looking through many thesaurus (for children and adults) to find a good one for my first grader, I chose this one. It is easy to use. Print is not too little. The only thing that I am not crazy about is the size of the book, a little too big, but nothing too bad. Overall I think it is the best choice for an elementary school student who loves to write!

I ordered these because I love using the earlier editions with my second grade class. This edition was revised to the point that it is no longer accessible to second graders. It is now a thesaurus and a dictionary. I liked it more as just a thesaurus. The typeface is much smaller now. I returned them. I will order more of the earlier edition.

Nice but some words that in school for 3rd grade weren’t even in it rather have one that even common words kids will hear and use would be included

I am a teacher and when I reviewed the above book. I knew I would use it in a classroom. I bought 5 copies for my nieces and nephews to use during their ELA classes. Creative writing is fun. However on any standarized state test especially the writing section one needs to know the parts of speech, synonyms, and antonyms so their essay will be interesting.

Bought this item for my grandson in 3rd grade. The clear and simple was the reason I bought it. I was disappointed that every time he looked up a word it was not in the dictionary. Might be good for 1st & 2nd graders, but definitely not for 3rd or above.

This is a nice thesaurus for children. I wished it had more words listed. It seems like my children have to break out the big college thesaurus more often now.

Now if we can just get the kids to use it. Only draw back is that it is not a hardback so expect it to eventually curl from use.

My fourth grader was frustrated and overwhelmed with a "regular" dictionary. This one is perfect for his needs, easy for a child to read and find words and has made homework much easier for him.

Clear & Simple Thesaurus Dictionary is exactly what the title states. It is clear and simple but rich and functional!I bought a copy of this thesaurus for my grandson who’s a fourth grade student. He really likes it. He is not only using it for his English studies at school. He often refers to it when he writes his diary.The size and font of the book print is appealing. It’s easy and fun to read. The letters look like they are smiling at you, a playful invitation for an adventurous words discovery.I highly recommend this thesaurus to everyone who is interested in exploring the richness of the English language.There is only one technical thing that, in my opinion could get improved, namely the alphabetical order switches . It’s not very easy to find where words starting with the letter “a” end and where words with the letter “b” begin.The pictures I’m adding to my review give comparison in this regard between Clear & Simple (left) and The Oxford English Dictionary (right). I personally favour the later.Nevertheless, the book is worth having it!

Great resource for students.
