Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Background text for ESL
Very good backgrounbd material for students of ESL. The format is clear and the information has a wide scope. I would recommend this book.
Rating:  - Picture time
Cute book for ESL learners. I was hoping it was more useful for kids that are visual learners that need to work on definitions and spelling.
Rating:  - Great for ESL or for teens and up learning Spanish
I used this for several years in my Adult ESL classes - the words, and matching up the numbers are a little cumbersome for any age younger than junior high, I think. The only drawback is the lack of phonetic spelling - I think we expect it from a dictionary, but most picture dictionaries leave that part out for some reason.
This is not a good book for young children - too many things to look at on one page...EXCELLENT resource for adults and teens, though, who are eager to increase vocabulary ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent resource
I use this book a lot even for adult ESL students. I find this a great resource for one of the basic ESL techniques--describe the picture. I've also used the verb pages to practice tenses. Pages on prepositions are also very good. The pictures are clear and easy to understand.
Rating: - Pretty Good
I still like the original better, but the New Oxford Picture Dictionary is a good resource and is on my list of recommended visual dictionaries.
