THESAURUS has two meanings, so there may be at least two possibilities.
Meaning # 1. A book of synonyms, often including related and contrasting words and antonyms.
synonym = "SYNONYMICON" (or you might use a 'brand name', e.g., "look it up in your Roget's" just as you might use "Webster's" as a general term for dictionary)
Meaning # 2. A book of selected words or concepts, such as a specialized vocabulary of a particular field, as of medicine or music.
synonym = "LEXICON"

Another word for Thesaurus would be: Treasury or Storehouse of words with similar,related or opposite meanings.

According to my source, the folowing are substitutes for "thesaurus": vocabulary, glossary, lexicon, dictionary, concordance, index, menagerie, library.
As your question asked for "another word" rather than "words", I have only included single word alternatives.

When you get older you will no doubt be able to expand your vocabulary. How about storehouse - of words/ideas. Thesaurus isnt just for words.
