ELEM: Dictionary Decisions

[Debbie Gouldin <gouldid@YAHOO.COM>]

This question is for a friend who is having trouble
getting enrolled in LM-NET.  She is in a LIBS
reference class with me at East Carolina University
and needs the following answers both for her real
library and for class.  Thanks for any help you can
give her.  Please reply to my address and I will
forward all answers to her!

I am now choosing which dictionary our elementary
school (K-5) should purchase.  I have narrowed the
choice down to two- Merriam Webster's Elementary
Dictionary and Scholastic Children's Dictionary.
Which one is the better dictionary and why?  Please be
specific as possible.  Also, is there a best overall
elementary dictionary (not of the two mentioned)?

Thanks,

Louise Creech Price
