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.

If you love this author's books, you should defently read it!

I was so glad that giants can't eat anybody because Sophie told the queen of england

Who wouldn't like a big friendly giant (BFG) all the other giants are nasty and eat people from everywhere and even though I can't really understand what the giants are saying, the book is full of amazing moments.

This is one of my favorite Roald Dahl books. In here Roald explains a story about a giant called the BFG (big friendly giant), and as you might think, the BFG is a friendly giant. The BFG is a giant that blows nice dreams into children’s bedroom windows. Unlike the BFG the other giants are nasty as the BFG was good. Every night the other giants gallop off to different countries and eat poor little children from their beds. Of course the BFG didn’t like the other giants one bit. One day, the BFG heard a little girl’s (Sophie) heart pounding. The BFG had really good hearing. So he snatched Sophie from her bed. I know, it sounds astonishing how a friendly giant would do that. Well here is why, no child/human bean was allowed to know about giants. The BFG took Sophie to the giant country so she (Sophie) won’t tell other people about the giants. Here Sophie and her friend the BFG solve the problem of those big nasty giants.

Parents need to know that there's no more to be concerned about here than in your average fairy tale. Giants eat kids offstage and talk about how tasty they are, which might bother very sensitive kids. The made-up language, though, will be difficult for the lower end of the target age group to read themselves, so it works best as a read-aloud.

Roald Dahl is an AMAZING author and he writes great book!! The Big Friendly Giant was so creative and thoughtful. A Giant with big dreams. This is a MUST read book.

I loved this book! The giant is so kind to the girl he helped her find herself. He protects her from the other giants and was so kind to her. The girl helped the giant to he helped him also find himself and stand up to the other giants. I loved this book it was amazing.

the plot was really good. I recommend this book to anyone who likes roald dahl. the illustrations were really sloppy. the overall book was very good
