Oxford Primary Dictionary
Description
This new edition of the Oxford Primary Dictionary provides even more vocabulary; words such as chortle, cacophony, amulet and toolbar have been added, along with others from a wide range of areas such as animals (e.g. narwhal, sabre-toothed), history (e.g.longship, palaeontoglist), mythology (e.g. cyclops, selkie) and space and science fiction (e.g. spacewalk, teleport). It also now features a unique selection of fictional words for creatures or places from children's reading and writing, for example hobbit, Muggle and bandersnatch. All the entries are clear and simple with word classes and inflections given in full. Children will discover example sentences from the authors they love to read for themselves, such as Michael Morpurgo, Roald Dahl and J. K. Rowling.
