Free Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary Ebooks Online
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.

The fun nature of the dictionary coupled with his delightful books will help to make young readers into lifelong readers and learners. Reading and learning should be fun and this definitely makes it so.Adults will also enjoy the playfulness of this dictionary, as well as taking you back to your childhood and how the newness of words so often led down completely new avenues.Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.
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.
A fantabulous resource for readers, from its first ordinary entry of "aardvark", ( "every dictionary starts with one"), to its last "zozimus"! Perfect for anyone who loves to "gobblefunk" words and create "spoonerisms" too. Roald Dahl fans in particular will want to snatch up a few copies to keep on hand for gifts, or for when you just can't remember what a "Knid" or "whizzpopper" means. This is one of those books that will endure for generations, like an "everlasting gobstopper". Topped off with fun illustrations by Quintin Blake and references from the many R. Dahl books too. Made me want to go back and reread them all.Love it!(Book provided and previewed on NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.)
