The Burgess Bird Book for Children (Webster's Spanish Thesaurus Edition) Review
As a high school biology teacher for many years, I always assigned my students to positively identify 50 birds each Spring. It was an effort for some, but a number of my former students are now avid bird watchers in their own right! I wish I had known about this the Burgess Bird Book for Children at that time. I only stumbled upon this book last year, and found it chock full of fascinating information about the birds. The new pictures really bring it to life, also--even if this is a black and white edition. I highly recommend this fascinating book to anyone interested in learning more about the birds at their feeder, or teaching their children about the birds.
The Burgess Bird Book for Children (Webster's Spanish Thesaurus Edition) Overview
Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.
