I admire this product available on amazon.cn:

《小学生常备工具书系列·彩图大字版(套装共7册)》包括：《小学生英汉词典》、《小学生标准字典》、《小学生成语词典》、《小学生标准词典》、《小学生组词造句词典》、《小学生反义词词典》、《小学生同义词近义词典》。

Reference books for primary school, color-illustrated large print.
7 dictionaries- English-Chinese, character, chengyu, word, grammar?, antonyms, synonyms/near-synonyms.
4313 pages.

The vocabulary, in *characters*, is probably between 3400 (required by PEP Yuwen) and 6000 (in Xinhua high school dictionary).

收词广泛 词典涵盖了小学应用教材的全部词语，也包括小学生课外阅读所接触到的词语，共收字、词11600余条。
The word dictionary contains the complete elementary school and extracurricular readings, totaling 11600 words.
An image inside the 词典 (word dictionary), but not in color or large-type like the above, can be seen here. Note the stroke count, stroke order, radical, layout (e.g. 左中右 describes the component structure of 斑), and restricted vocabulary in the definitions!

Your welcome taijidan.

I've received these from amazon.cn. Hardcover, stitched binding, about two illustrations per page, very nice. On sale, the price before shipping was about $20.

1. 《小学生组词造句词典》 is a book of characters that make compounds, a selection of important constructive characters, 3100 of them. Or, it's groups of words indexed by those chars. Here's something neat- the words don't necessarily *begin* with that char, and *that's* a special feature (I think). The head-character is followed by a numbered list of usages (as in a dictionary), then vertical-bar separated lists of compounds, then illustrative sentences often having vertical-bar separated alternate constructions. (pinyin for head-char only) 644 pages.

2. 《小学生成语词典》 The chengyu dictionary, containing 2684 of them, gives pinyin for the chengyu, a two or three sentence explanation, an illustrative sentence, and then *synonym and antonym constructions* almost all of which appear to be chengyus too. For example, 面黄肌瘦 lists 面有菜色 (in Wenlin but not in this book) as a synonym chengyu. Neat. (Those two coincidentally begin with the same character. Most don't.) 498 pages.

3. The cidian (5148 headwords 12000? words 964 pages) and zidian (5270 chars 836 pages) look as I linked above. The synonym and antonym dictionaries have interesting looking discussions I haven't figured out yet.

4. The English-Chinese cidian is a treat for me. It has 3781 headwords, 4500? total. It gives the pronunciation of the English in international symbols, the part of speech, one or more definitions (most just one), then for each definition an illustrative sentence in English and Chinese. E.g. heap- There is a heap of books at the entrance to the classroom. 教室门口有一堆书. Just right for me! 537 pages.
