Duden Bildworterbuch Fur Kinder

Duden Bildworterbuch Fur Kinder is the Duden picture dictionary made for children: the German word-hoard of a child’s world — home and family, school and play, animals, food, the body, the seasons — presented in bright scenes and labelled pictures, so that young readers meet German words attached to the things themselves.

A child’s first dictionary cannot be a small adult’s dictionary: children look up by looking. Here the pictures do the finding — themed double pages to wander in, every object named in clear print — and the Duden name guarantees that the words, spellings, and plurals are exactly right.

It is written for German children building their vocabulary and spelling, and it serves a second audience equally well: children learning German as a foreign language, whose first thousand German words are precisely a child’s world.

Duden Bildworterbuch Fur Kinder cover

Picture dictionaries teach the way children actually learn: by pointing, naming, and returning. This Duden’s themed scenes — the kitchen mid-breakfast, the classroom, the farm, the playground, the body, the calendar year — gather each word-family where it lives, so a child browsing for one word absorbs twenty neighbours. The labelling is typographically kind to new readers, the selection is the vocabulary of childhood rather than a shrunken adult world, and the accuracy is Duden’s: this is a reference a school can trust and a child can love, a combination rarer than it should be. For families it is the bedroom-shelf answer to ‘what’s that called in German?’; for primary teachers, the browsing book that builds word knowledge while feeling like play; for German-learning families abroad, a first dictionary that needs no translation at all — the pictures are the translation.

About This Book

Duden makes the dictionaries Germany trusts; this one is trusted with its youngest readers. The children’s picture dictionary applies the house standard — accuracy above all — to the first vocabulary, in the only format a five-year-old can use independently: pictures that find the words for you.

What Children Will Find

The World in Themes

Scenes and spreads organised as a child’s life is organised: family and home, food and clothing, school and play, animals and nature, the body and health, town and travel, the year and its weather — each theme a small world, completely labelled.

Words Done Properly

Every entry a correct German word with its article and spelling — the foundations of literacy laid accurately the first time, plurals and forms as reliable as the adult Duden’s, because children deserve reference books that never have to be unlearned.

Browsing as Learning

No task is set and none is needed: children graze picture dictionaries the way they graze the world, naming, asking, returning — and the vocabulary of the grazed pages is in their speech within the week.

Key Features

The picture-first access is the feature: no alphabet skill required, so the book serves pre-readers and new readers at once. Duden accuracy is the second — a children’s book held to the house standard — and the child-world selection the third: nothing here is a scaled-down adult; the vocabulary is childhood’s own.

Who This Book Is For

It is for German-speaking children roughly from pre-school into primary school, for primary classrooms and school libraries, for parents building a German shelf, and for children learning German as a foreign language, for whom it is often the first German book that asks nothing of their first language.

How to Use This Book

Leave it where browsing happens — the bedroom, the classroom reading corner — and let the child lead: name together, play ‘find the…’ across a spread, and return to favourite pages until their words are old friends. Parents and teachers can extend any page into talk (who has this at home? what happens next in this kitchen?), because a picture dictionary’s deepest use is conversation.
