For the first time in paperback, this Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary takes readers aged 8+ on a phizz-whizzing, splendiferous, fantabulous journey deep into the language of Roald Dahl's bestselling children's stories. This is a dictionary which will develop language and literacy skills byigniting the creativity in all readers and writers everywhere. 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 shapeof 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 alternative words for wordsthat 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. | Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary by Susan Rennie, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
