In recent years the world has become reading-conscious. It has always recognised the necessity of mastering the three R's, but today more than at any time in the history of the world, there is widespread acceptance of the fact that boys and girls, men and women, should be able to read efficiently.

This dictionary will serve as a reading text as well as a dictionary. The attractive format, the lively artistic illustrations, as well as the challenging vocabulary, make the GIANT PICTURE DICTIONARY FOR BOYS AND GIRLS an absorbing interest in the study of words, and make learning an adventure.
