A must buy

I like everything about this book! I don't usually post reviews but since I took a chance to buy this for my 4th grader, I wanted to help other parents who might be in the hunt for a dictionary. It has 1000 pages but doesn't feel heavy. I attribute it to the thinner pages. There's some drawings and there's a key at the bottom of each page to help with pronunciations. At the end, there are sections for names, places, grammar, symbols and more. This was a bonus, as I wasn't expecting to find this at all. Too bad I can't post more pictures. I was a little disappointed that the delivery was later than originally stated, but now that I have it in my hands, it was worth the extra wait and inconvenience.
