Petit Larousse

Le Petit Larousse Illustré, commonly known simply as Le Petit Larousse (French pronunciation: [lə pə.ti laʁus]), is a French-language encyclopedic dictionary published by Éditions Larousse.

The one-volume work has two main sections: a dictionary featuring common words and an encyclopedia of proper nouns.

Le Petit Larousse 2007 (published in 2006) includes 150,000 definitions and 5,000 illustrations.

This motto inspires the cover art of Le Petit Larousse, which typically features a female figure blowing dandelion seeds.

Upon its 100th anniversary, a history of Le Petit Larousse was published called La dent-de-lion, la semeuse et le Petit Larousse written by Jean Pruvost (fr).
