Genre: Fiction - Children's chapter book

Review: Sophie peers out of her window one night and spots a giant at her neighbor's window. He sees her, grabs her and runs off with her into the night. Lucky for her, this giant calls himself The BFG (The Big, Friendly Giant). Together, they come up with a plan to stop the other nine giants from eating the children of the world. Will it work?

My kids adored this book!! I am quickly learning that Roald Dahl's books are just amazing. Every single one of them have been fabulous and have my kids hooked from the beginning. This was adorable. I loved how the giant spoke with all his made up words. It was just TONS of fun!! I definitely recommend this book.

Author: Roald Dahl was born in 1916 and died in 1990. He's British and it's very obvious in his writing (I love it!). He became popular in the 1940s from both his children and adult books. He is most commonly known for James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In his career he wrote over 60 short stories.

Rating: ***** Five Stars

I also found the movie on youtube but I haven't watched it yet. I'm going to watch it with my kids. It may be fabulous or it may not. I am not reviewing that... just passing on the info that I found it. :)
