Summary: Word for Word....
Review: This review refers to the "Student Thesaurus" by Elizabeth Ryan(Troll Pub).....

Give your child the gift of words. A great beginning to discovering how reference books can be used as a tool for those school reports is important. This book will easily help the young student choose the right words that they are searching for. It will help to improve the quality of their work and their vocabulary as well.

This one is designed for use by students beginning around age 9 and can probably be helpful through the Junior High level.It begins with a great introduction on how and why to use a Thesaurus. There are 2000 words(listed alphabetically of course) with easily interchangeable synonyms that are geared for this age group. They will also find the antonyms to many of the words which are distinguisable in RED print. Some great cartoon illustrations by Rick O'Boyle are also found throughout to help convey the meaning of some words.Under "help" for example you will find.. assist, aid, support,cooperate... the antonym "hinder" and a great little drawing of a girl resuing a cat from a tree.

It may also be helpful for writing reviews for Amazon, but don't tell anybody!.......Laurie
