Summary: Did not assist in the task
Review: I am a fifth grade teacher looking for a thesaurus for my students. I was extremely dissapointed in...this book. There were many words that were ommitted from the book which made it impossible for my students to find the synonyms to the words they were looking for. I thought this book would have provided some assistance in helping my students improve their vocabulary and writing skills, however I was mistaken.

Summary: Terrific Introduction to a Thesaurus
Review: I used this book with groups of English as a Second Language students in fifth and sixth grades. I thought it was a marvelous introduction to what a thesaurus is and how to use one. The book is only 86 pages long and uses easily readable print font, so it is not intimidating at all and really helps to promote confidence. My students loved it!
