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.

This book was OK. The illustrations were nice, and there was vibrant language, including Roald Dahl's own colorful language. This is just me, but I personally think The BFG plot was not good. Sophie is an orphan in an orphanage. One night, she see a giant who spots her, and takes her. Fearing for her life, she begs him not to eat her. She learns that he is the Big Friendly Giant, who is not like his brother giants who eat people. She befriends the BFG, and he teaches her about how to catch and give dreams. But once the BFG and Sophie learn of the other giant's plan to eat many children from the orphanage, they flee to the Queen of England. At her palace, they convince the Queen to send her armada to capture the giants. With the help of Sophie and the BFG, they successfully remove the giants. Sophie and the BFG live happily ever after.

OMG best book ever I love how BFG makes proof that DREAMS ARE REAL!! I also love the movie!

Want to watch and read the book

I got this book for Christmas and I read it right away. It is a really good book. It was funny when the friendly giant said," I only borrowed the book for 80 years. Then I gave it back. "

The BFG is a really funny and amazing book!!!

This book is very interesting. I never knew that a giant can be nice. In many other movies I watched with giants in them, all the giants are mean and kill many people. But in this book this giant makes friends with a little girl. I have seen a trailer for this movie and I am excited to watch it. Who every hasn't read this book I recommend it.

i have watched this movie I liked this because the friendly giant scares the bad giants out of his house because they were scared of water and fire..
