The Oxford First Thesaurus is a new, highly innovative reference book that will help children develop a confident writing style of their own. It is unique in that it is the only illustrated thesaurus at this level. It is set to become the favourite children's reference tool for budding writers. Wonderful picture book illustrations bring this first reference title to life and helps children to develop an interest in words, and to grow their vocabulary for writing at school and at home. Its special features are: over 100 headwords listed alphabetically with a page or spread of their own; over 1000 synonyms given along with opposites, sample sentences, word families, and descriptive vocabulary; fits the NLS requirements at Y1 and Y2; includes over-used words; introduces the idea of a thesaurus as distinct from a dictionary; develops alphabetical skills and develops grammar; and is a companion to the Oxford First Dictionary.
