ELEM: Dictionaries

[Michael Solow <msolow@MEDIAONE.NET>]

Dear All,

  My second grade teachers have been very enthusiastic about some dictionary
lessons I have been doing, but we desperately need a set of more up-to-date,
kid-friendly dictionaries.  Do you have a favorite that you use with this
age group?  Children's dictionaries (as opposed to picture, first, or
student dictionaries) seem to be at the right level for us.  Right now we
are considering the American Heritage Children's Dictionary and the
Scholastic Children's Dictionary.  Do you have experience, good or bad, with
either of these, or do you love something else?

   While questions like this can be found in the archives, there aren't any
useful hits.  I'd be glad to post a hit if there is interest.
