An exquisite 30th anniversary edition of The BFG - Roald Dahl's much-loved story of a little girl, Sophie, and a Big Friendly Giant. This large format paperback comes in a beautiful, ingeniously designed slipcase and is a gloriumptious gift for Roald Dahl fans and book collectors. 'Human beans is not really believing in giants, is they? Human beans is not thinking we exist.' On a dark, silvery moonlit night, Sophie is snatched from her bed by a giant. Luckily it is the Big Friendly Giant, the BFG, who only eats snozzcumbers and glugs frobscottle. But there are other giants in Giant Country. Fifty foot brutes who gallop far and wide every night to find human beans to eat. Can Sophie and her friend the BFG stop them? Listen to THE BFG and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios! Look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! inspired by the revolting Twits.

The BFG is amazing and awesome! I really loved this book. Sophie is a eight year old orphan girl living in England. One night when all is still and there is not a sound ( the witching hour ) Sophie cannot sleep. Then suddenly she sees a huge figure all in black hiding in the shadows and creeping down the street. Just as suddenly the creature turns around and looks right at Sophie. Then it reaches an enormous arm through the window and snatches Sophie up and carries her away. Sophie learns that the " creature " is actually a giant a big friendly giant. Sophie also learns that there are other giants that gobble up human " beans " every night. When Sophie hears this she is angry and terrified. Together can she and the BFG form a plan to save the world from man eating giants?

I think it is a great book. My favourite bit is when the girl and the BFG make friends.

It was a fun book. I didn't read some of the words the BFG said because I didn't really understand them but I understood the story. I thought it was funny when Sophie dug her broach into the giant's ankle. It got intense sometimes but it was pretty funny.

This book is more for advanced readers. There is very big and tongue twisting words in there that could make you spit!! If you were younger, I would recommend that you at least have someone read the book to you.
