Children's author essential book:
You have to have this book if you want to write for children. It will give you words that match your target group. You can feel confident that your words will be clear and appropriate for your book. GREAT delivery buy the seller too.

It has even assisted me as a type of thesaurus; while looking up a word to find its age appropriateness, I discovered a far better one to use in that particular instance.
