Was it, perchance, the Larousse? I loved that book.

Interesting, never thought of looking it up, this was the book:

For sale on the local ebay equivalent for 1,50 euros... a steal at that price:

The ad has some of the contents in it, most of the images were b&w with only very few pages in color. Still, I loved that book and tried real hard to learn it by heart.

Similar in scale and tone to the Larousse, certainly. Every kid should have one in their life.
