While out in the garage today I found (in a random box) The Magic World of Words: A Very First Dictionary*. Dude, I remember when I was little, I'd be looking through here, and I'd try to find the word mean, because I thought it'd be so cool if the definition said "Mean means..."etc.
Here's some excerpts from the MWoW:aVFD.
evil
If something is evil it means that it is very,
very bad. The evil witch in the story turned
the prince into a frog.
girl
A girl is a child who will grow up
to be a woman. Girls are female
children.
listen
When you listen to something you try to hear
it in a careful way. Judy likes to listen to
records on her record player.
pen
A pen is a thing to write with.
dragon
A dragon is a big animal. It has wings and
sends out fire from its mouth. Dragons are
not real.
corn
Corn is something to eat. It is long and yellow
and has a green covering. Corn is a vegetable.
me
The bus takes me to school in the morning.
record
A record is a thing that can make music. It is
round and flat. You play a record on a special
machine. Susie has a record of pretty songs.
