A new unique Roald Dahl Dictionary from Oxford. This is not an ordinary dictionary. After all, you wouldn\047t expect an \047Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary\047 to be ordinary, would you? Lots of dictionaries tell you what an \047alligator\047 is, or how to spell \047balloon\047 but they won\047t explain the difference between a \047ringbeller\047 and a \047trogglehumper\047, or say why witches need \047gruntles\047 eggs\047 or suggest a word for the shape of a \047Knid\047. This dictionary does all those things. All the words that Roald Dahl invented are here, like \047biffsquiggled\047 and \047whizzpopping\047 to remind you what means what, but that is not all. You\047ll also find out where words came from, rhyming words, synonyms and lots of alternative words for words that are overused. Oxford Children\047s Dictionaries are perfect for supporting literacy and learning and this is the world\047s first Roald Dahl Dictionary from the word experts at Oxford University Press. With real citations from Roald Dahl\047s children\047s books and illustrations by Quentin Blake, this is authoritative, engaging and accessible and will inspire and encourage young writers and readers.
