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 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.

d.w d.w

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..

I just finished this book and it was really good And I also recommend it because it is sssssoooo good. It is bought a girl and a giant. Of course. And they are getting help from the queen of England to stop the bad giants. And I totally recommend this book.

The BFG was a truly amazing story. I was inspired by it, and it made me think different about giants. In this book, a girl named Sophie is awake when she's supposed to be asleep! She notices a tall figure in a dark cloak! Noticing her, the tall figure grabs her immediately! To know more, you'll have to read the story though! The reason I would recommend this book to others is because it made me think of giants differently, and I'm sure it would make my friends too!

This book is a great story about gaining courage. The BFG is a nice giant who lives in giant country with nine human bean eating giants. BTW, BFG stands for Big Friendly Giant

N.L N.L

I new that BFG stands for big friendly giant but giants were the bad ones. Have you guys seen it be for?

this book is about a young girl named Sophie who gets captured by the bfg in the middle of the night during witching hour. he takes her back to his home with all of the mean, big person eating giants. she soon meets the bfg and becomes good friends with him. soon they make a plan to stop child eating giants. I gave this book five stars because it is very entertaining and funny. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys humer and teamwork.

Roald Dahl did an amazing job captivating me in this book. The story is about Sophie's bond with The BFG (Big Friendly Giant). This book proves that not all giants are mean.

The title of this book is The BFG. It is by Roald Dahl. I like this book because it has scary thing about the story and some that are funny. It tells about giants eating humans but it has very funny words, and spelling. The BFG took Sophie from the orphanage. He took her because she saw him and she would tell everyone. When he brought her to his cave, the BFG showed her the snozcumber and frobscotle. But when the Fleshlumpeater came inside to look for the human bean (Sophie) the BFG was talking to. Sophie hid in the snozcumber but the Fleshlumpeater ate part of the snocumber. Later that day, they went dream catching. This is getting long so I'm going to skip a few... Then they went to the queen of England . the army came captured the giants, put them in a pit and only let them snozcumbers. This is the story of the BFG.

Thanks! This review helped a lot!😀

I loved this book and cannot wait to see the movie. Sophie is captured by a big, friendly giant. You have to read what happens next.
