Bellowing ferret-faced golfer? Backstabbing fairy godmother? Oh, oh... Big Friendly Giant! This BFG doesn't seem all that F at first as he creeps down a London street, snatches little Sophie out of her bed, and bounds away with her to giant land. And he's not really all that B when compared with his evil, carnivorous brethren, who bully him for being such an oddball runt. After all, he eats only disgusting snozzcumbers, and while the other Gs are snacking on little boys and girls, he's blowing happy dreams in through their windows. What kind of way is that for a G to behave? The BFG is one of Dahl's most lovable character creations. Whether galloping off with Sophie nestled into the soft skin of his ear to capture dreams as though they were exotic butterflies; speaking his delightful, jumbled, squib-fangled patois; or whizzpopping for the Queen, he leaves an indelible impression of bigheartedness. (Ages 9 to 12) --Susan Harrison

...is one of my favourites The BFG or (big friendly giant) to you. Is one that will always stick in my mind and something I believe even children now should read and my daughter has and really enjoyed it. So abit about the author first.
WHO IS ROALD DAHL~~~~~~HISTORY~~~~~
I felt this warrented adding as Roald Dahl is sadly no longer with us. His father Harald Dahl moved here to England from Norway around (1900) the turn of the century. Roald was born ... ...Wales at this time the book Boy wrote by Roald is an account of his childhood. His mother made sure they never forgot their Norweigan heritage and spoke fluently the language around the home. Apart from speaking the language most of the time she read to all of them the Norse myths and they went on annual trips to Norway to visit the many relatives still living there. You will find this most evident at the start of the book The Witches which heralds ...

...children’s author. His books stretch the imaginations of all to their farthest reagents with brilliant writing and imagination. I was sucked into his books by James and the giant peach. This is one of the most famous books he has ever written and has been read by millions. Also the witches which I have reviewed, made me really think and that had me hooked so when I came to read the BFG I was expecting an enthroning story with imagination and trust ... ...human who lives up above the clouds who is evil and the only thing s/he can say is "fi fy fo fum I smell the blood of an Englishman"
but as in witches he has given them a whole new look. For this he has given only one a whole new make over, the rest are as I said but this giant really surprises you.
The Plot

He is a dream-blowing giant who blows dreams into each sleeping child so that all the children will have good dreams. Besides that, Sophie learnt alot from this BFG about his food called the Snozzcumbers, how he made 'NICE MUSIC' when he drink from his favourite drink that oddly have bubbles that float downwards instead of ...

...and Whizpops', but he describes the areas he takes his characters into, in such depth, that you can almost see them there in front of you. His characters are so large as life that they almost seem real as well. The BFG (Big Friendly Giant) is such a wonderful character you can't help but love him right from the start. And Sophie, the little girl he takes with him back to his land is so adorable. It has been over 16 years since I last read thi book, ...
