Thanks, all.
I've tried the Milet Farsi/Eng. Picture dictionary; it was the one that had 
only a few pages, mostly toys & animals.  I found it on Barnes & Nobles 
website; they ordered it for me.
Unfortunately, $250 is way, way our of our budget.  But I will try the Ask 
Jeeves site; I've tried Google.
