The Bfg

by Quentin Blake, Roald Dahl   |  Ages 8-11
$8.90
The Bfg
The Bfg

Gentle giant and girl adventure; whimsically heartwarming.

If you're into tales that blend the fantastical with a touch of warmth, "The BFG" might just be the comforting read you're yearning for. Dahl's characteristic wit and Blake's lively illustrations offer up a story where the underdog triumphs and friendship knows no bounds. It's a classic that invites young and old into a world where dreams are literally caught and shared, and where the true monsters aren't always what they seem.

Description

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? Let's hope so - otherwise the next child a gruesome giant guzzles could be YOU.
