Seven year old approved

I got this dictionary for my seven year old daughter who is obsessed with reading. She loves to learn what new words mean and I felt this would be good for her. She LOVES it! There is one picture with a definition on each page. We have yet to find inappropriate words for elementary dictionary, though I do not think I will be able to update this if I do find any.
