Any young student should find this intuitive, well-designed thesaurus quite helpful, as well as useful, practical, handy, beneficial, and versatile.p If you have an aspiring wordsmith on your hands--or just a kid who's renowned for his prolific deployment of the words Inice/I and Iokay/I--this 204-page thesaurus offers well over 1,000 primary entries and more than 10,000 supplementary entries using a clever on-the-page index. Instead of a traditional index, the IScholastic Student Thesaurus/I lists supplemental entries alphabetically on every single page. For example, Ihelpful/I doesn't appear between Ihelper/I and Iherb/I as a primary entry, but the index below on the same page refers young synonym-searchers to the main entry for Iuseful/I. Each entry also contains part-of-speech labels, and many include usage notes and other synonym and antonym cross-references.p With its clean look, thoughtful introduction, and kid-friendly accessibility, the IScholastic Student Thesaurus/I makes a fine introduction to what may quickly become an indispensable, essential, fundamental writing tool. (Ages 10 and older) I--Paul Hughes/I
