Description

WINNER OF THE KPMG CHILDREN'S BOOKS IRELAND AWARD A breathtakingly original and extra-special gift for all great lovers of books, words and storytelling. This hardback picture book is clothbound and embossed, finished with a foiled jacketed cover. A must-have for every bookshelf at home, school, library, coffee table and beyond. “A boundary-pushing romp through the words of the English language.”The Observer “Intricate, playful picture-book collaboration, layered with whimsical dictionary definitions.” Guardian “An indefinably great picture book… Endlessly inventive... Stunningly designed and highly giftable.” Waterstones Dictionary wishes she could tell a story just like the other books. So one day she decides to bring her words to life. How exciting it is, she thinks, that an adventure is finally happening on her very own pages! But what will she do when everything gets out of control, all in a jumble, and her characters collide causing the most enormous tantrum to explode. This isn’t what she wanted at all! How on earth will she find sense in all this chaos? Her friend Alphabet knows exactly what to do and sings a song that brings calm and order to Dictionary’s pages once again. Discover A Child of Books, the multi-award-winning and internationally bestselling picture book by Oliver Jeffers and Sam Winston.
