Reference book of synonyms/descriptive words for kids

[LissyLaw]

I observed teaching in a school recently and the teacher had a fantastic book that she used to select several words a week to help develop the children's vocabulary.
It was an A4 sized (roughly) hardback book with a white colour, I think. It was full of synonyms and adjectives but don't know if either of them appeared in the title.
I've written to the teacher to ask but had no reply.

I know it's a long shot but does anyone have an ideas what this book may be?

Thank you!

Well it's not white but it's in thousands of classrooms across the country:

No, it's not that one but thanks anyway! It was one used by the teacher and not the kids.
Will have a look about on the website you directed me to though. It's bound to be there somewhere!
Thanks again. Happy new year! X

I still think that she might have been using an older edition of the Oxford Junior Thesaurus. It used to have a white cover:

No, I remember the title as being quite unusual - 'The book of something, something and something'. It definitely wasn't just a junior thesaurus.
Thanks anyway though.

I'll keep trying!

Aw, thanks but don't go to too much trouble! I'll scan the shelves of the library next week. I've spent literally hours searching on Amazon!
