This is a super book that will not only increase you and your child's vocabulary, but will become a useful tool for your kids' writing assignments for school! This book came in so handy, it really gave us an advantage and allowed us to create more vivid stories than trying to come up with rhyming words instead of out of our over used and limited words off the top of our head. When in question, we reach for Scholastic Rhyming Dictionary!

Organized by vowel sounds and final syllables, this illustrated rhyming dictionary uses its own easy-to-use, accurate pronunciation system. The student writer looks up the ending sound of a word, which is listed alphabetically, and finds a list of matching rhymes ranging from the everyday to the extraordinary to modern slang. The list includes appropriate words with the same ending sound, regardless of the spelling. An introduction includes the basics of listening for rhyme, with emphasis on sounds, stressed syllables, and different spellings of same sounds.

With over 15,000 words, it has enough for an aspiring poet to be very useful without overwhelming a reader. Although more advanced poets should turn to Sue K. Young's other rhyming dictionary, The New Comprehensive American Rhyming Dictionary, it is perfect in a classroom. I originally bought this book from my 7th grade literature teacher and immediately found good use. For the past five years, it has been of great convenience and has been one of the books I keep at the side of my desk.
When writing a poem for school assignments or merely to express my own emotional state, or convey a story, it has definitely come in handy. Although I am currently looking for a new, more comprehensive rhyming dictionary, this book is great for beginners.

This book is a great book for any younger person interested in writing poetry, songs, raps, and etc. I think that this book is very easy to use and understand. I know I have said that this book is mainly for kids, but I am 15 and I still use this book for a lot of poetry that I write for school. So basically it is a great book for most people to use. The book also has funny pictures in it to help you know what the word is. Overall this is a great rhyming book. |

Wow! I was really surprised with the quality of this book - It is a very well organized book of rhyming words, which is a handy thing to have around! The rhyming words are listed alphabetically by number of syllables. I bought 3 of these for friends of mine who are going into University journalism courses, and they were thrilled. These things aren't just for "ages eight and up" as it states on the back; everyone can have fun with a rhyming dictionary!
It's also really fun to just read the rhyming words out loud quickly in front of a group of people. It's an excellent "coffee-table book" in that sense! More fun than a barrel of monkeys!
