Good Chinese to Chinese dictionary (paper copy) adult and child?

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am after a good Chinese to Chinese dictionary that explains things clearly for adults. I am also after one that is primarily for children. My thinking is that the kids one would offer a simpler explanation and perhaps offer an easier path to understanding (might or might not be the case but would like to have a look anyhow). Thanks for any pointers...

naw...dont get the Longman one unless you are learning Cantonese and/or love traditional characters. Furthermore, I would say the the entries in this dictionary are often way too short and lacking in detail.

try 应用汉语词典 by 商务印书馆

and also the FLTRP bilingual dictionary that 大山 promotes

how about in Mainland China from a bookshop in paperback
Like I said, you can't go past the 现代汉语词典. Ok, so it's not paperback (and probably just as well, otherwise mine would have completely fallen to pieces by now), but almost every bookstore will have it, and if my memory serves me correctly, it only costs 60-80 yuan.
