Book Reviews of Merriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary
Book Review: Falling in love with a......Dictionary
Summary: 5 Stars
Whenever one thinks of " Webster Dictionary " one visualizes a big , heavy book, terribly serious and with thousands of very accurate definitions explaining, or trying to, origins and meanings of words. Useful of course, but almost always dry as a pile of sand and not meant for young children. What a revelation Merriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary is !!!!!! Scientific, explanatory and extremely useful but in such a novel way.... Children love it, middle age people adore it and everybody wonders why nobody had ever thought of creating it any time sooner. Luckily it is now here, for all of us to use and enjoy and I am sure it will soon be in every home, classroom and library. Well done Merriam-Webster, and as they say, " Better late than never "
