Merriam Webster's First Dictionary introduces young readers to almost 3,000 words, encourages language exploration and proves that learning about language is fun! Each entry includes easy-to-understand definitions, sample sentences and word history. Bonus and related words introduce children to synonyms and antonyms, while cross-references introduce children to the idea of looking for related information elsewhere in the dictionary. Even better, this unique treasury of words for children from Merriam-Webster’s language experts and beloved children’s book illustrator Ruth Heller will foster a love of learning and language with its wealth of stories, poems, riddles, jokes, fun facts and examples of wordplay.

The card security code is an added safeguard for your credit/debit card purchases. Depending on the type of card you use, it is either a three- or four-digit number printed on the back or front of your credit/debit card, separate from your credit/debit card number. To make shopping at Doubleday Book Club® even more secure, we require that you enter this number each time you make a credit/debit card purchase. Please note that your security code will not be stored with us even if you have saved your credit/debit card information.
