children's dictionary

Young learner's wordbook

A children's dictionary is a reference book designed for young readers, typically featuring simpler definitions, larger type, illustrations, and a vocabulary limited to words children are likely to encounter.

The definitions avoid complex language and often include example sentences showing words in familiar contexts: My daughter looked up "dinosaur" in her children's dictionary.
