Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. Questa recensione è stata scritta per gli Omaggi dei Membri di LibraryThing . This fun and beautifully illustrated dictionary, Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary, is a great childrens or young adult reference dictionary with wonderful illustrations. My family loves having it and adding it to our collection of unique dictionaries.When I first read the title, I thought that this would be a dictionary of characters and terms found in Roald Dahl's books. Those are included, in a delightful way, however this is more than merely a compendium of Roald Dahlisms: this is actually a very functional dictionary of the English language. It is appropriate for all ages because of the Dahl characters and terms, but seems to be aimed at younger readers and writers. Encouragement for young writers is found throughout the book. This is an inspiring dictionary for children from primary school through high school. I actually caught myself going page by page, until I realized that I was reading a dictionary like it was a novel. This dictionary rightfully refers to itself as "extra-usual." Bonuses include synonyms for words that are overused, illustrations of characters and terms (the same illustrations that appeared in his books), a wonderful introduction, tips on writing and an entertaining explanation on how to make the most of the book. I adore this book. Definitely a must have for families with younger children and any fan of Roald Dahl. **eARC Netgalley** I love Roald Dahl because thanks to him and Johnny Depp with his spectacular Willy Wonka I discovered Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and an imaginary world interesting and captivating. I read all the Wonka books and I continued with many others as well. So I requested without any kind of hesitation apart a Road Dahl biography for trying to understand much better who this author was in real life, The Oxford Roald Dahl Dictionary by Susan Rennie and Roald Dahl published by the Oxford University Press thinking just later... Bloody hell, I am italian and now? When I opened this dictionary at first I was a bit "scared." Well, I can tell you I would have wanted a similar italian or English or Latin or Greek or french dictionary like this one! It's truly truly, truly funny, humorous, and your children will fall in love for it. It is completely colored, funny, thanks to Quentin Black's illustrations and captivating. Thanks to a lot of anecdotes, stories, new words created by Dahl your children will learn with joy and happiness not just the most common English words, but also other funny new ones inserted in Dahl's books. Dahl was a creative like PG Wodehouse. So be careful when they will speak to you after that they will have read this dictionary. Maybe they will use Dahl's words... You can't never know.. So, dear parent don't worry, be hopscotchy! ;-) and buy this dictionary without any kind of perplexities to your children. Money very well spent trust me because, for once, I can tell you this, they will open the dictionary with love and curiosity and they will read it with interest! I thank NetGalley for this book.
