Book Reviews of Merriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary
Book Review: A Great Resource for the Home
Summary: 5 Stars
We have been delighted with the quality of the pictures in this book. It is enjoyable to look at, and it makes a good learning resource for the home school. Note - there is a section on anatomy with frontal nudity. These pages can be stapled shut or removed if you wish - don't miss the rest of the book! There are chapters on Astronomy, the Earth, Plants, Animals, Food and Kitchen, House, Gardening, Do-It-Yourself, Arts and Architecture, Communications, Transport and Machinery, Energy, Science, Society, and Sports and Games. Our boys ages 17 and 12 loved the pictures of sailing ships, weapons(modern and ancient), sports, architecture and animals. I loved the pictures of cuts of meat and types of mushrooms, spices and cheeses. Very educational!
