‘A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero’ – David Walliams
Phizz-whizzing new branding for the world’s No.1 storyteller, Roald Dahl!
Exciting, bold and instantly recognisable with Quentin Blake’s inimitable artwork.

The well-loved story of a big friendly giant who spirits a child out of bed to the land of the child-eating giants.

Every night, when the world is sleeping, big gruesome giants guzzle up whoppsy-whiffling human beans. And there’s only one giant who can stop them – the BFG. He’s the kindest giant there is and, with his friend Sophie in his top pocket, he sets out to rid the world of the Bloodbottler, the Fleshlumpeater and all their rotsome friends forever . . .

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 so good! It’s about a little girl called Sophie and she is snatched away from her bed at night by a giant called the big friendly giant. They then make friends and we discover that the BFG and Sophie tried to stop the other man eating giants by going to the Queen. My favourite character is Sophie because of her determination and care. I would recommend it to people who love fiction and adventure stories.

I give this book five stars because it was really funny, and there was a lot of funny words. It was very interesting - especially the bit when the Queen had a dream from the Big Friendly Giant.

It was a good book but it was a bit crazy when they went to the Queens window and went through the window and I don't get the big friendly giant part because it is just strange

The BFG is a nice and jumbly giant.In fact he is the only big friendly giant in giant country.All the other giants are big bone crunching brutes and now the BFG and his friend Sophie must stop them guzzling up little human beans

The plot of this book is about a little girl being snatched by a big friendly giant in the middle of the night and bringing the little girl to Giant Country. This was the first book I ever read. And would definitely recommend this book to any new readers.
