Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary

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 that will develop language and literacy skills by igniting 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.

Roald Dahl's Beastly Brutes & Heroic Human Beans

It's time to meet Roald Dahl's larger-than-life characters as you've never seen them before in this madcap adventure. Focusing on four of Roald's most-loved books - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG and The Twits - this book is brimming with all your favourite figures. Meet the main characters from each story illustrated by Quentin Blake, and then let them guide you around their worlds, introducing you to the rest of the cast!

The die-cut pages let you create a wonderful work of art inside a book - simply press out parts of the pages to reveal a glorious parade of characters, interacting with each other in quirky and mischievous ways - plus press out and keep some of your favourites! Includes an envelope inside the back cover, to store the press-out characters.
