Barron's First Thesaurus

Barron's First Thesaurus, written and illustrated for primary school children, will help them build their vocabularies as they are introduced to the idea of a thesaurus. It will help you find new words for your writing at school and at home. The first thing they learn is that a thesaurus isn't the same as a dictionary. Its purpose is to present many synonyms for each of its main entries or headwords while a dictionary focuses more attention on word definitions. This good-looking volume presents more than 100 headwords, one headword to a page, then provides a short definition that includes synonyms, an example sentence, a separate list of synonyms, and where appropriate, an antonym. Young readers will find a total of more than 1,000 synonyms that will strengthen their vocabularies and improve their writing styles for classroom assignments. Each alphabetically listed headword appears in an attractive layout with cartoon-style color illustrations to help clarify word meanings. Are you looking for another word for nice or bad? What is the best word to describe a knight? Brave or bold or fearless? When you are looking for another word to describe something, you need a thesaurus.
