The layout is clean and not overwhelming, which makes it perfect for early readers. ### ⭐ Has very obvious words and missed on a lot of terms *by A***U on 3 January 2022* This dictionary is filled with words like van, thirsty, tiger, water a lot of common words that an average 5-6 years old already knows what they mean. And a lot of other stuff that kids would need help with is missing. We almost always switched to a regular dictionary. Also pronounciation is not added you can learn a lot on that from any ladybird book.
