picture dictionary

Illustrated word reference

A picture dictionary is a reference book that pairs words with illustrations rather than lengthy written definitions.

Picture dictionaries help children learn vocabulary and assist language learners in connecting foreign words to visual concepts: The ESL class used a picture dictionary to learn household items.

Entries are often organized by theme—animals, food, clothing—rather than alphabetically.
