Fascinated by the Dictionary

Tonight I told my daughter that sometimes I run across a word that I don't know. She was surprised. I told her that I look in a dictionary and the dictionary tells you how to say a word and what it means. I also gave her a children's dictionary that someone gave us awhile back that at the time we thought was too old for her. She loved it. We even looked up some words together. I think it would be too confusing though to explain to her the how the pronunciation symbols work.
