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'. All the words that Roald Dahl invented are here, like 'biffsquiggled' and 'whizzpopping,' to remind you what means what. 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. With real citations from Roald Dahl's children's books and illustrations by Quentin Blake, the Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary will inspire and encourage young writers and readers. 超創新！其他字典會告訴你alligator是什麼、balloon怎麼拼，但不會告訴你意思相似的字之間有什麼不同。在這裡，Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary，通通找的到！不只告訴你單字是怎麼來的，還有韻詞、同義字和許多常用單字的替代詞。本書由牛津大學出版社詞彙專家─Roald Dahl及插畫家─Quentin Blake共同完成，將讓鼓勵許多小孩閱讀及寫作。
