What a lovely book this is. I purchased for my friend and her new baby and couldn't resist buying one for myself! (this book is quite small in size so perfect for my friend to read to her new born.) Such a sweet story, a definite must for your children's book collection.

Plot: The kind BFG is the only giant who does not eat children like all the other giants but actually horrible snozzcumbers. He catches all the dreams and gives them to children. Sophie caught the friendly giant at his lovely act but she had to be taken because no one was to know of his kindness or even his existence!
An amazing fact about the book connected with the author: The BFG's friend Sophie was named after Dahl's granddaughter, the real Sophie. She was the only member of Roald Dahl's family whose name was mentioned in one of his books.
Another cool comment about the book: BFG was Roald Dahl's favourite character that he created due to his wonderful qualities including his kindness. Which of Roald Dahl's characters ... Read More:

Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master of fantasy fiction in the second installment of the Hary Potter series. The characterisations initially developed in the 'Philosopher's Stone' are considered in depth by the author, allowing presumptions to be overturned, and the impossible to be considered. From the start of this work, adventure and excitement become codewords, allowing readers of any age to engage with the well written literature. Much recommended.

I bought this for my daughter, who is six, and she loves it as it means she can now draw animals that look like animals!! It is excellent as it breaks the drawing into manageable steps and really gives her a sense of achievement. Highly recommended.

My grandson Jack was three on 17th April. He loves Bob the Builder toys and I've already bought him most of the main toys. He does love his pocket books though. These are ideal for car journeys and to keep him quiet when necessary. The last time was at a christening. He loves having these read to him, but also he loves stacking them up and putting them back in their box. He knows every character on sight and can just pick out the main letter of the name. He loves counting them as well and always gets the total correct. They are perfect for small hands.
