Although this dictionary is aimed at older children, the definitions are easy enough for her to understand. The layout is clear, spacious and the words easy to find. She enjoys browsing even when not working! Which is Fab!!! The book stays at home and is a great help for homework and crosswords! I recommend this dictionary to all parents and would advise to buy the next age level up, as I did, just to add a little challenge! 5 Star Amazon Reviewer
