This is more of a workbook about many diverse science topics. I have a niece on the spectrum that I homeschool, so I have many books that provide visuals on words and math and on many topics. This is a good book but it is not a dictionary. Review: easy to explain for kids - Excellent book for kids to learn and they are interested in it. Also it is easy for parents to check.
