Good for Children
Rating:
Tried to find the upgrade version of The Oxford-Duden Pictorial Chinese & English Dictionary (1989) but bought this one by mistake. It's a desirable well-edited dictionary but only good for children not for technical and professional usage.

Rating:
Should let buyers know that it's in traditional character. The wording of some items are more commonly used in Taiwan but not in China.
Helpful picture dictionary
Rating:
I teach beginning level adult English. It is a helpful language learning tool. The pictures are colorful and the words are appropriate for real world experiences. This is also perfect gift for families. They can share this dictionary.
A good resource
Rating:
While reading this, it does seem odd at times, as though it was actually written for Chinese-speakers learning English, but it is still a valuable resource.
Problems: No pinyin. All traditional-form characters.
Obviously, although this is a great resource with 4,000 useful terms, it isn't complete. (The Chinese have three different, common ways to say "week" and this guide includes only one.
Although it can be basic, I would say that it's usful for all skill levels. Whether you're learning English or Chinese, unless you've got a doctorate in your target language, this book will have terms you don't know. This book identifies a subject and exhausts all the possible terms. Animals, Science, Plants, Computers, Crime, Natural Diasters, Clothes, etc. There are English terms in here I've never heard.
Very useful for ESL classes.
Rating:
I bought this book for my Chinese student who could not speak or read English at all. The Chinese characters help her to remember the english words even though they do not have the pronunciation. In three months, she can start carrying a conversation in English with broken English. But at least she can communicate with us. The grouping by weather, color, daily routines etc. help me to concentrate on a subject and make teaching much easier.
