Summary: 5 Stars
Did u ever write a story before? NOT a simple easy story, a creative hard story? Or maybe a pretty hard story. Well, what did it take to make that? It takes creativity, time, imagination and concentration! Well, I think Roald Dahl used all of those quite well, and made this wonderful story! The BFG stands for the Big Friendly Giant, and that's true. An orphan girl named Sophie, meets a giant one night. The BFG was huge compared to Sophie, and he took Sophie to Giant Country. At first Sophie was terribly scared, but soon she understood the BFG. Then Sophie gets the chills when she hears about the other mean, 2 times taller than the BFG, half naked, ugly, stupid giants that eat kids at night. Together, the BFG and Sophie try to stop them. It is very unique how she does it, and u will never be able to guess correctly! U have to read this book! If u don't, I think that your wasting a great opportunity to read a wonderful magnificent book!!! I recommend this book to everyone, and this will thrill a lot of ppl! I suggest this book to about 9 year olds to 12 year olds! I hope u read it, and enjoy it as I did! Once u start, u will never be able to stop!Book Review: Big Friendly Book

This is a wonderful story for children. I loved it when I was a child and my son loves it just as much. He asks me to read it to him at night and he is only 2 1/2. What an impression this book has already left on him!!

The BFG
Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl's The BFG tells the story of two opposites coming together, becoming friends, and coming up with an idea to save others. The Big Friendly Giant snatches Sophie, a little English girl, from her window, during the witching hour. Sophie and the Giant venture off to Giant Country, where she learns of the other "human bean"-- eating giants and the true personality of the Big Friendly Giant. The two learn many things about each other and devise a way to save the humans of the world from being eaten by the nine other giants. The Big Friendly Giant and Sophie work well with and learn a lot from each other.
The BFG conveys the important themes of friendship, understanding, and humorous imagination. Readers of any age can appreciate the book. The BFG is heart-warming, yet downright funny!
Roald Dahl's book has been banned because some people feel that it is too mature for a young audience. Many believe the book teaches poor moral values. However, the words, along with the illustrations, in the book can stir any reader's curiosity. The uneducated language of the Big Friendly Giant makes the book more child-friendly too. The BFG also teaches readers a positive message. In the latter part of the story, the queen tells her army not to kill the nine "human bean"-eating giants when they propose the idea. The army generals believe that the murderous giants should be slain. The queen responds with a strong moral statement when she says that killing the giants would be wrong. This part of the story sends a tremendously positive moral statement. I disagree with those who feel that The BFG should be a banned book. The BFG is one of the best children's books I have ever read.
Book Review: Book will keep the interest of your children!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book out loud to my 2 sons, ages 7 and 9. It was a fun book to read aloud, using the B.F.G.'s mixed up language. My sons were laughing throughout most of the book at the way he misused words. They begged me to keep reading! This is a book that will stay with you, and you will always remember the sweet, gentle, friendly B.F.G. I totally recommend this book.
