The Big Friendly Giant is a BIG hit!
5 Stars
The Big Friendly Giant is a BIG hit!
My daughter is going into the 3rd grade this year and I really wanted to teach her that most books are even better than the movies that are made about them. When I read that The BFG movie would be coming out this summer I figured this would be a wonderful opportunity. Immediately she was drawn to the book when she realized author Roald Dahl is the genius behind many of her other beloved favorites! The BFG did not disappoint! It was full of Dahl's signature made up whimsical words and just enough mild humor to keep both kids and adults chuckling. We loved learning all about the BFG and all that happens in Giant Country. The story develops at a nice steady pace and the events that the Big Friendly Giant and the human bean Sophie go through keep you wanting more and more. We haven't seen the movie yet, but I do think my lesson of books first movie second has really hit home with my little reader. If your looking for a great family read or something to spark your imagination we highly recommend the BFG!

With all the children's literature to choose from, this is a must read. If your child loves to laugh, he/she will truly enjoy this story. It will tickle their imagination as well as their funny bone. One of my favorites.

Bought this to read with my grand kids. So much fun. It is for older elementary kids that can pick up on all the jumbled up words/idioms that Dahl likes to use in his stories. Great storytelling and we absolutely loved the last paragraph.

I'm reading it now at bedtime with my 8 year old. It's a story he loves and even at my age I don't get bored of Roald Dahl. A good book transcends through all the ages.

Roald Dahl non delude mai, è una di quelle poche certezze che si hanno nella vita, se poi, in aggiunta, si abbina la sua scrittura semplice e coinvolgente ad un'edizione così accattivante non si può che ottenere un successo!
