Author Description

A new thesaurus for 7+ which will assist children in their own writing, and encourage them to be more adventurous in their word choice and avoid repetition. Children often ask `what is another word for...?'. This thesaurus provides opportunities for search-and-find tasks, and also for word games and quizzes. 1500 A-Z headwords are listed, and parts of speech and example sentences are given to guide children to pick the most approriate synonym. Further explanations are often given so that children can learn about shades of meaning. There are also topic pages which deal more extensively with subjects like animals, food, buildings, transport, etc.
