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?<p> 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. <I>(Ages 9 to 12)</I> 1249788 book 1982 The BFG (Puffin Fiction) total:22187|5:9541|4:7922|3:4052|2:599|1:99| 22187 92742 25099 1201 5 7 false false Fri Feb 15 20:23:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 15 20:42:34 -0800 2008 3 4 false false Sat Jun 28 14:33:02 -0700 2008 Tue Jan 29 15:23:27 -0800 2008 Sat Jun 28 14:33:02 -0700 2008 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, and especially, Matilda.
