This will be the 4th year we have done the dictionary project. It has been a big hit with the kids; they loving having a book that is all their own. I think this is a great deal for the kids and organizations giving the books to them.

We donate the dictionaries along with other school supplies for the classrooms and for the individual children. The kids love it and some of the kids get so excited, because it is the first book they have ever owned. Gives you something to think about. Thank you!
