Dictionary is described as a statue wearing eighteenth century clothes such as a frock coat and knee breeches. The wig on his head is coated in what George describes as "pigeon splat" and a bird is said to be roosting on top of his head. He has a lopsided face that apparently doesn't smile much, and he has a deep, rough voice that sounds a lot like a farmer's voice. Dictionary carries a thick book in his hand (which is an actual dictionary) that he uses to look up words in order to give people advice. He is also prone to random twitching and fidgeting spasms.
