羅德・達爾字典來囉！閱讀原文故事不再一知半解

享譽「全世界最會說故事的人」稱號的童書作家：羅德・達爾，其幽默風趣的故事風格，讓全世界孩子在閱讀他充滿笑果的文字中，達到寓教於樂的良效。

不過原文故事中，許多充滿想像力卻又如咒語般的羅德達爾自創字，是透過英文中的字首、字根搭配發音創造出的新字，是一般字典內查詢不到的單字，卻是許多讀者傷腦筋的地方，也讓作者巧思的笑點，無法巧妙的傳達給讀者，但幸好有了這本《羅德・達爾字典》，讓這些新創字不再是閱讀樂趣的阻礙了！

收錄了來自羅德・達爾許多熱門作品單字，加上昆丁．布雷克Quentin Blake的彩色插圖編排，讓這本專屬的羅德・達爾字典，更增添了其可讀性。

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 by igniting 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 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 alternative words 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.
