About this product

Product Information

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

  • Excellent dictionary.

    Hi, this is an excellent dictionary for children in upper primary and lower secondary school. It has firstly, far more words than most dictionaries for that age group, illustrations to break up the pages (dictionaries are so dull) and the explanations are in child speak. The only con is its size. It is too big to carry to, around, and from school.

  • Frumptious!

    This is a magical, entertaining, PHIZZ WHIZZING dictionary! It has 'normal' words with synonyms as well as Dahl words. My son is already using the Dahl nouns and adjectives in speech and in writing and I think this dictionary has the capacity to introduce some flamboyant words to the English language. A must buy for any child. Beautiful illustrations from Quentin Blake.
