Can someone recommend

[Gileswithachainsaw]

A decent dictionary fir a child.
I did buy some Oxford junior one however every word dd has gone to look up doesn't appear to be in there

Obviously I don't want one so expansive it weighs a ton but one that has a really good range but the definition is understandable for a child.

A decent thesaurus would be good too.

How old is your DD?

We use an online one if we can't find it in thr Oxford kids dictionary.

In that case you may find the Heinemann English Dictionary good - link for WHSmith but available at loads of other places.

Both DCs were recommended this when they started (different) secondaries and I think it is really good - contains grammar tips and warnings about common errors on mixing up similar words etc.
