Review: Great Elementary Dictionary - We have used other children's dictionaries with much frustration.. many have overly limited words which is very frustrating to a child who is learning and cannot find a word. We often had to use two different dictionaries to find all the words. This one is very thorough and contains most every word in our studies (and everyday words). It is a good size and very sturdy to withstand many years of use. My kids are not as frustrated and are enjoying learning new words. Perfect addition to our homeschool collection or for any elementary aged child that wants to enhance their learning at home. Review: Everyone is judged by their vocabulary. - My students really really love this dictionary. The word histories boxes are enticing. The root word boxes help my students see how important know this can be to understand vocabulary without releaning every word. There are nice pictures sprinkled throughout the book. Definitions are not too difficult. I wish it had alternate spellings of words. I have tried other dictionaries and my students (3rd to 8th grade) like using this one. That's the goal. Inspire kids to use the dictionary more. So I love to see them using it. ## Features - Sold as 1 EA. - Completely up-to-date dictionary features over 32,000 entries and 250 word history paragraphs. 600 full-color illustrations. - Special sections on geography and U.S. presidents. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,117,354 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #170 in Children's Dictionaries (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 328 Reviews | ## Images ![Merriam-Webster's Elementary Dictionary - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714uO+zVPTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Elementary Dictionary *by R***C on December 24, 2013* We have used other children's dictionaries with much frustration.. many have overly limited words which is very frustrating to a child who is learning and cannot find a word.

The word histories boxes are enticing. The root word boxes help my students see how important know this can be to understand vocabulary without releaning every word. There are nice pictures sprinkled throughout the book. Definitions are not too difficult. I wish it had alternate spellings of words.

So I love to see them using it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only For Kids Reading at Reading Level *by P***L on September 8, 2013* Let me start by saying this is an excellent dictionary. The illustrations are wonderful, the book is sized just right for 3rd through 5th graders, and the words are defined appropriately. However, when I ordered this book, I expected it to contain adult words that were defined for children. This dictionary contains words only that a 3rd through 5th grader would know. For example, "exacerbate" (to make worse) and "susurration" (a whispering sound) were both not in this dictionary. I bought this dictionary for my friends third grader because she is reading books that use words such as this. She does read at a high school reading level, but some of these words were in books like Nancy Drew, which is not a high school level book. So, if you are getting this dictionary for a child whose vocabulary is that of a normal 3rd - 5th grader, I would highly recommend this dictionary. If you are getting a dictionary for a child who reads above their reading level, consider something else. This dictionary only defines books for a 3rd through 5th grade vocabulary. I still wanted something illustrated, because even a third grader reading at a high school level likes illustrations, so I went with the Oxford Illustrated Dictionary. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1692773-merriam-websters-elementary-dictionary](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1692773-merriam-websters-elementary-dictionary) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
