This Teacher's Choice5
This is an excellent resource for beginning readers and writers. I use it in my first grade class. It has great pictures and easy-to-read text

Grandaughter loves it5
She likes it and it was a lot less than the one at the bookstore. Fast delivery.

Good Dictionary for YOUNGER Children4
This dictionary is colorful and easy to read. Although the age range states four to eight-year-olds, I think that it is better suited for four to six-year-olds. I bought this for my seven-year-old, but it's more appropriate for his younger brother who will start Kindergarten this Fall. It would also be useful as a supplement for a higher-level dictionary.
