The BFG
Staff Reviews
My son, who is a very bright little six year old, adores this book. We read this together, (okay, I read it to him as he exclaimed with glee at all the funny words in the book).Reading this every night became our bedtime ritual. My little one couldn't wait to brush his teeth and take his bath so he could hear what happened next to Sophie or the BFG. He was always wondering if the other giants were going to catch them, or if Sophie would ever get to go home. (Cause little kids can't live with Giants mom, they just can't! They don't even have fruit snacks I bet!) I rember my 1st or 2nd grade teacher reading this out loud to my class when I was young. Its such a classic tale of friendship and acceptance, and little ones truly love this story.
Description
From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda!
One of TIME MAGAZINE’s 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time
The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants—rather than the BFG—she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!
“This warmhearted tall tale, published a year before Dahl picked up the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, artfully whisks readers away on a magical journey through London, Giant Country and beyond, to a realm of wild imagination.” --TIME Magazine
