FROM THE CRITICS

KLIATT

An updated version of a student's easy reference tool at a reasonable price. Most of the book is dedicated to the dictionary of synonyms and antonyms; the final 25 pages or so list homonyms. This is good for browsing or for a writer's quick reference. For most entries, five to ten examples of synonyms are given and fewer antonyms are listed, but always more than one choice. KLIATT Codes: JSA—Recommended for junior and senior high school students, advanced students, and adults. 1965, 2001, Scholastic, 220p. 20cm., $4.95. Ages 13 to adult. Reviewer: Claire Rosser; KLIATT , July 2001 (Vol. 35, No. 4)
