    This dictionary may not be workable with Window Vista..., 2007-09-03
    I bought this visual dictionary for my kids and tried to install this on my brand new laptop computer with a high expectation of being used a lot by them. However, it does not work at all (after completion of installment, I clicked an icon to start this dictionary but only to get a bizzare message) and what is worse is that I cannot find any solution or advice from its installing guide or even from its web site to get out of this kind of trouble. I still don't know what the exact problem is and if this product is not workable with Window Vista, I believe there should be a clear warning for that. Very disappointing for me and my kids as well...

    A good product for its price, 2007-04-07
    I can't think of anything to improve this other than adding more entries and more detailes to the illustrations.

    Love it, 2007-02-21
    Great software. There is a pronunciation for each words and also a definitions but it is much more than just a dictionary. I very much enjoy the activities great way to learn new words and fun too.

    EXCELLENT BOOK FOR KIDS AND ADULTS, 2007-01-21
    THIS BOOK IS GREAT TO TEACH OR SHOW STUDENTS ABOUT THINGS AND WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT. THE BOOK QUALITY IS GREAT, PLENTY OF DETAILS, ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT EXPLAIN HOW THINGS WORK OR HAPPEN.

    This is not a dictionary, 2007-01-15
    I've bought this as an update to the earlier dictionary that they released and that I have used for years. It is quite convenient to have a dictionary on one's computer, I have had the same one now for six years, and this was cheap enough so that I decided to see what the update would look like. Basically, this is not a dictionary anymore, it is more like an encyclopedia and not particularly useful if you want to know how to spell a word or what the word means. The graphics in the interface are very attractive, but I think there is some false advertising, or at worst a bait and switch going on here. If you want a good instructional educational piece of software for your kids, fine, I'm sure they will enjoy playing with this, but it has nothing to do with looking up words.
