The Children's Writer's Word Book is one of those littlereferences you wouldn't necessarily think you needed in yourcollection. However, once I opened this book, I knew I needed to place it in a very prized position on my reference shelf.
Not only are the graded word lists extremely helpful, but the short profile of each age group combined with the description of what publishers are looking for at each reading level makes for a powerful advantage when writing for children.
This book is a must-have if you are writing for children.

The beginning of this book is broken down into chapters from Kindergarten to Sixth grade and gives sample words to use at each level.
But the bulk of this book (and most useful part) is a Thesaurus of sorts. It gives word choices for each grade level for each word in the Thesaurus.
Overall a good book to get a general idea of the words to use with each grade level.
