This delightful edition of The BFG, by Roald Dahl is illustrated in full colour by Quentin Blake and accompanied by the Puffin Audiobooks CD read by author and comedian, David Walliams. The audiobook features original music and sound design by Pinewood film studios.

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.

Listen to THE BFG and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet and Steven Fry.
Look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was my favorite childhood book!

I still love this story and have read it to all the of my children. I love the silly words, the wild adventurous story line and the smart solutions that the BFG and Sophie come up with. My children love the all around silliness that the story holds and are sometimes scared, but always pleasantly surprised by the outcomes that arise with each chapter. The illustrations area wonderful as well.

Ronald Dahl makes reading fun for kids. I downloaded it to ny kindle so I could read along with my neighbor kid. He was falling behind on reading & we first read Charlie & the Chocolate Factory together (per my suggestion). He was then assigned to read BFG in school. These books have greatly improved his reading ability. He loves these books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and entertaining!
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2020
Kidnapped and raced away to Giant Land by the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) Sophie was frightened. She’d gone to bed in the orphanage in London and now she didn’t know what was happening. But it was the other nine gigantic giants she was terrified of – the Childchewer, Bonecruncher, Fleshlumpeater and more. The BFG hid her successfully and as Sophie learned more about the giants with the BFG’s confusing talk – well, confusing to her – she found she was a human bean who would have to eat disgusting snozzcumbers if she stayed with him. She found the BFG had learned his words through reading Dahl’s Chickens and that he collected dreams to give to the children – unlike the other giants.

Would Sophie find a way to stop the bad giants from gobbling human beans?

The BFG by Roald Dahl is a delightful story with an eight-year-old heroine and a heartwarming giant forming a strong team. A classic children’s tale, originally published in 1982 and loved by children far and wide, I found the complete annihilation of the English language by the BFG extremely well done. Recommended.
