KING FISHER FIRST THESAURUS, by George Beal

GOLDEN BOOK FIRST THESAURUS, by Harreit Wittels, Joan Greisman

From the introduction to King Fisher First Thesaurus, by George Beal:  "After their nice supper, the kittens went to sleep on a nice cushion.  It was then that I considered now nice it was of that nice woman next door to offer to look after them when we are away having a nice time.  We must buy her a nice present, perhaps a nice straw hat so that she can have a nice time sitting in her nice garden.  Doesn't that sound flat and repetitious with all those nices?

Here's an alternative version:  After their delicious supper, the kittens went to sleep on a comfortable cushion.  It was then that I considered how thoughtful it was of that kind woman next door to look after them when we are away having an enjoyable time.  We must buy her a super present, perhaps a smart straw hat so that she can have a pleasant time sitting in her lovely garden."

From the introduction to Golden Book First Thesaurus, by Harriet Wittels, Joan Greisman:  "You will find this book useful, helpful, practical, handy, valuable, and beneficial.  That is its aim, purpose, goal, object, and target."
