Roald Dahl dictionary

"A new unique Roald Dahl Dictionary from Oxford. This is not an ordinary dictionary. After all you wouldnt 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 wont 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. Youll also find out where words came from rhyming words synonyms and lots of alternative words for words that are overused. Oxford Childrens Dictionaries are perfect for supporting literacy and learning and this is the worlds first Roald Dahl Dictionary from the word experts at Oxford University Press. With real citations from Roald Dahls childrens books and illustrations by Quentin Blake this is authoritative engaging and accessible and will inspire and encourage young writers and readers."
