Children's dictionary suggestions?

[Pintosrock]

I picked up an old Illustrated Golden Dictionary a few years ago. Today, dd8 looked up some of her vocabulary words in it, but they weren't included! (scruples, interlude, compunction) Does anyone have suggestions for good kids dictionaries? 

If it matters, dd8 is using the Memoria Press lit guide for Charlotte's Web.

I doubt those words you listed from the reading would be in a children's dictionary. Perhaps look for a student dictionary. Ideas:

Merriam-Webster's Elementary Dictionary
Webster's Dictionary for Students

The Longman Dictionaries use very simplified language for the definitions.However,  I can't seem to find sample pages anywhere, which is very annoying. All I can find two individual sample definitions, one here at their website, and one at this sales blog article.

 

You might also look up words together online with a search, with the words "define: ______" For example, a search of the word "scruples" came up with this fascinating entry, which included some historical info and word origin.

We recently bought this children's dictionary and I love it. I just looked up your three words and it had all but compunction.

For the curious, the Scholastic Children's dictionary has scruple, but not interlude or compunction.
