(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 04, 2008 ) Darien, CT -- Colorful pink and purple paisley and bright blue argyle prints are not just the latest in hip teen fashion. These designer looks are making the grade in a new line of dictionaries available from Federal Street Press just in time for back-to-school shopping.

The editors of Merriam-Webster have created the content for this cool collection of reference classics. They take their work as seriously as Noah Webster, the author of America’s first dictionary, and they think he would approve of dictionaries designed especially for kids.

“Every student needs a dictionary going into the school year, so we decided to give them dictionaries that reflect kids' sense of style and fun. We asked our designer, who is the mother of a fashion-minded teenager to create colorful, playful covers that will look great and that kids want to be seen with.” said Deborah Hastings, publisher, Federal Street Press, a division of Merriam-Webster Inc. “And they are a great value...at $3.99 they are priced right for value-conscious students and parents."

In addition to two versions of Webster’s Dictionary, the line includes Webster’s Thesaurus and Webster’s Spanish-English Dictionary also priced at $3.99. "Kids love having their own dictionaries and studies show that they are a tremendous tool in building language and reading skills," Hastings said.

These smart and snappy reference books are available at retailers including Borders, Target, and K-Mart. For more information log on to: www.federalstreetpress.com .
