It has a lot of dated information, but it is still relevant. Good portions-- very useful for writers.
So this is a thesaurus with the benefit of opposites added in. It's also got a section in the very back for homonyms, which can be useful for pronunciation as well as checking spelling (for example, jail and gaol are both pronounced the same way -and mean the same thing- but I didn't learn that until I visited Ireland). Overall, it's a useful writing tool that's an easy enough reference that it's not completely out of date.
Bébé a été dès les premières lectures, assez attentive au récit. Les couleurs vives et les multiples textures aidant, ce livre pourra être lu et relu en ajoutant le concept de "disparition" qui nécessite de calculer les canards qui seront sur la prochaine page.
I found this too dated and ended up skipping over several unengaging parts.
