Just found this amazing gem in the new kids' books section of our library and I really want to own it! It has real words along with quotes from his books where the words are used as well as many of his invented words with definitions. Plus lots of pictures. And it's big! Not a skinny little thing. I might just have to put this on a wish list for my birthday or something...

LauraBeth Wow! I need this! 7y
mrp27 That's awesome! I would love to own one! 7y

Won this phizz-whizzing dictionary at the splendiferous educators open house at East City Book Shop. I can't wait to sound more like the BFG!

gibblr Jealous! That's amazing. 8y

This is a dictionary like no other. It includes real words, Dahl words, characters, you name it. It is laid out in a fun way and includes illustrations. There are actually instructions in that tell you how to use a dictionary, plus “did you know” facts and “look it up” clues for various words.
