We have all heard the story of Jack and the beanstock, right or left? We are all familiar with stories about giants, right or left? The BFG was a story that will make people smile but also encourage them to lock their windows at night... Takeing place in the United Kingdom the BGF captures hearts all over the world and I am so thankful to Roland Dahl for publising such a sweet book that shows friendship and love. This book captured my heart as it wil yours.

In London, England eight year old Sophie Evans is tucked tight in bed in a girls orphanage when she hears a noise outside durning the witching hour. Sophie bravely gets out of her bed and looks out the windo and what does she see but a great big giant with a... Well a trumpet... Sophie quickly runs back to bed and covers her head when a great big hand reaches in and snatches her from her bed in the girls orphanage. Away the tall creature took her until they ended up in Giant Country... Sophie was terrified that the giant was going to eat her but the BFG turned out to be a diffrent kind of giant. The Big Friendly Giant did not eat human beans because he felt it was disgraceful and wrong but his other giant friends did. The BFG was misunderstod by the others and was often pushed around and called names. Sophie becamw the BFG's best friend and she had no choice not to live with him because she had seen him that evening in London. The BFG was a dream catcher and he liked to mix certain things to make one dream it was up to him if he wanted to make a god dream or a bad dream. One day Sophie decided it was time for the other nine giants to be stopped from eating women and children so the BFG and Sophie decided to pay the queen of England a visit and in order to do that they had to mix a nightmare for her to see what was going on in her contry. Of course i am not going to ruin the whole book for you so i am going to stop there� I can tell you that (view spoiler)[ The giants were eventualy captured and taken to England where they were forced to live in cages and eat snuzzlecumbers (view spoiler)[...

In my opinion is that this book is kind of scary for children under the third grade... No child is going to want to pick up a bok about giants eating children while they are asleep in their beds.

Child: Mommy is there giants outside?
Mother: Of course not *Shuts out the light and closes the door*
Child: *Eyes wide with fright*
Neighbors Dog: Woof! Woof! Howl!
Child: *Screams* Its the Bonecruncher and he is gonna eat me!!!!
From the other room you and your spouse are going to be watching telivision while you rson or daughter is haveing a panic attack at the other side of the house� Why?� Because you let them read a horrifying bok like this before they were old enough.

I got really engaged in the story and i personally wanted more adventure because in the end Roland Dahl speeds up the story way to much like he automaticaly wants it to end because he did not have anymore ideas. That upset me because the BFG could have been so much more adventuress and the author could have made him and little Sophie more plots. Most of the story takses place in Giant Country in the BFG's home. Lots of new words were learned for me in this story that even though are not real words i may still use them scrumdiliumptchus was one of my personal favorites� I rate the BFG with four stars for such a great one- hundred and fifty pages before slipping� The artwork was great and i loved not being able to put the story book down.

My Rateing
4/5 (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]
