The American Heritage(R) Children's Thesaurus is easy-to-use and encourages young students to think analytically about word choice as they find the right word for their purpose. The book features 4,000 main entries and 36,000 synonyms. Contributing to the lively page design are more than 150 full-color photographs related to situations described in the sentences. This thesaurus also contains a table explaining the parts of speech that shows young readers how words are labeled according to their function in a sentence. This book has been updated with a new jacket to match the refreshed line look.
