Eagle Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I am looking for a children's dictionary for use throughout elementary and beginning of middle school. I really like the looks of the DK Merriam-Webster Children's Dictionary (http://www.amazon.com/Merriam-Webster-Childrens-Dictionary-DK-Publishing/dp/0756637589/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) except I wished that they made a Canadian version. The closest thing I can find is DK Children's Illustrated Dictionary, Canadian Edition (http://www.amazon.ca/Childrens-Illustrated-Dictionary-Canadian-4e/dp/1553632273/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401573253&sr=8-1&keywords=Canadian+Children+dictionary). Unfortunately, it didn't even have the first word we tried to look up (archaeology). It is too basic for our needs. (As a comparison, the MW dictionary above is 960 pages and this one is 256). What do other Canadians use for an elementary-level dictionary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess4879 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 It never occured to me to look for a Canadian Dictionary. We have several kids dictionaries, but they are dust collectors. So many words are missing. We ended up ordering a Merriam Webster large print and have been much happier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
