What is The Dictionary Story about?
Dictionary has always dreamed of telling a proper story, just like other books. One day, she brings the words on her pages to life – including an alligator looking for lunch. Soon, characters tumble into one another, stories collide and Dictionary’s orderly pages descend into hilarious chaos. As the mayhem grows, Dictionary discovers that having a story is not quite as simple as she imagined. With help from her friend Alphabet, she must find a way to restore calm and make sense of the adventure.
