Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary

Roald Dahl's highly original, inventive use of the English alphabet to create the *perfect* word for any situation was astounding -- and now, instead of just coming across each word on its own by reading all of his books (which I highly recommend doing in any case!), you can find his wonderfully entertaining words embedded and explained, with lovely examples from his texts, within a regular dictionary for children. It's easy to know which words are his -- they are in blue, while all others are in black type. Even the "ordinary" words provide excerpts from Dahl's texts as examples of word usage. Put this book on your child's bookshelf, and also dip into it together with your child at bedtime: it is not only a delight and very funny (and, btw, educational), but it can perhaps inspire creative wordsmithing of one's own.No review of Roald Dahl's books of any kind, including this one, can fail to include the utterly charming, beautiful, funny illustrations of the genius artist/illustrator Quentin Blake.Kudos to Dr. Susan Rennie, whose name is given as the compiler of this fantabulous volume!

My daughter is a fan of Roald Dahl. I couldn't wait to buy her htis dictionary because I thought it might just fit in with her love of Roald Dahl.This book is exactly as you would expect. Colorful, great drawings and superb words.Roald Dahl is well known for his love of crazy made up words. Whizpopper, Gobblefunk, frobscuttle and more. If you forget what a word means you can look it up here. Or you can just browse the fun, crazy words and try to use them in your daily life. Do you feel hopscotchy? (Happy!) Does your room look ucky mucky?This reflect Roald Dahl as you know and love him in his children's books. It's a great dictionary.

An excellent guide to all the children’s literature created by Roald Dahl.

Brought this to help my kids with researching words. I like that it has pictures and is colorful, they seem to enjoy that vs the old fashion dictionary!

huge hit with the kids i teach! really helpful for getting into reference texts, as well as on grade level for readers just falling in love with roald dahl. beautiful illustrations, easy to figure out organization, really fun to get interested in

If you love Roald Dahl, then you need to get this book. My husband is a huge fan of his and has every book and movie. I came across this by accident and my husband didn't even know about it. He was quite surprised on his birthday and sat down reading through all of Roald's unique words. There are true words from the dictionary as well but every word he uses in his books is in here too. It was a real treat!

We love Roald Dahl anything. This dictionary is fun,all of his words in one book along with alot more common words.Having a BFG Party this weekend and thought this would be great forthe coffee table piece.

I'm pretty sure I ordered a new copy of this book but I don't think I received a new copy. The book arrived with a scuffed, dirty, and bent cover. The book had definitely been looked through, as the spine was loose and even the end pages laid flat when I opened them. I'm keeping the book as there are no known marked or damaged pages. Not 100% satisfied with this purchase.

I buy the used one. The condition of the book is good and like new one. Save a lot!

Y recibí un excelente libro, excedió mis expectativas por mucho, tiene pasta dura, la calidad de impresión es de muy alta definición y el contenido no puede ser menos de lo que uno espera de Roal Dahl

E' un dizionario con parole usate nei libri per bambini di Roald Dahl (complete con la citazione estratta dal testo e il significato) e con altre parole di dizionario non inventate. Consigliato anche per avvicinare i bambini alla magia della scoperta del significato delle parole.

Wonderful book for Roald Dahl fans.
