Binding: PaperbackEAN: 9780142410387 ISBN: 0142410381 Label: Puffin Manufacturer: Puffin Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 208 Publication Date: August 16, 2007 Publisher: Puffin Reading Level: Ages 9-12 Studio: Puffin Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: Evidently not even Roald Dahl could resist the acronym craze of the early eighties. BFG? 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) Product Description: Luckily for Sophie, the BFG is nothing like his neighbors, whose favorite pastime is guzzling little children. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - BFGGreat story for a read aloud. Kids love listening to and reading along with the descriptive language. Rating: - Love it!I was introduced to Roald Dahl when I was very young but I still love the story now that I'm older Rating:  - Arrived weeks late.This was scheduled to arrive no later than August 16th. Despite repeated attempts to contact Amazon, it arrived September 2nd, and I had to go to the post office to get it. It was for my daughter's birthday, and arrived weeks after her birthday. It is a great book, but Amazon's service was dreadful. Rating: - Big Friendly Giant Went over Big I bought this for my son, and he greatly enjoyed it. His teacher had read it aloud at school, and he wanted his own book. I'm glad it was shipped right away, since my son had kept asking me when he'd get it. The seller shipped promptly, and the book was in excellent condition. Rating: - Another great read from Roald DahlI have been a great fan of Roald Dahl's books since I was a young child. I would go into the library quite often and read any of his books that I could get my hands on. His books are enjoyable for all age levels. I am a college student, and I still enjoy sitting down and reading them. The BFG was always one of my favorites. It has great humor, and endearing characters. I highly recommend it. |
