In the Picture Dictionary, these words and phrases are organized into 12 fairly comprehensive categories ranging from health to transportation. A table of contents lists these categories and is followed by about 100 pages of labeled illustrations. Not all of the illustrations are completely realistic, but they are clearly depicted and recognizable. The illustrators have also been deliberate in including people of varied nationality throughout the dictionary. Because not all of the details of each picture are labeled, there is room for expansion of the basic vocabulary if the students or teachers want. The targeted words on each picture page are arranged in columns below the illustrations. Below these lists is a shaded yellow box with brief exercises.
