A charming story, and fun to read out loud if you can get your mouth around the higglety pigglety language that Roald Dahl has invented. Fun and exciting moments and you can't help but fall in love with BFG.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Cultural appropriation
One of my favorites as a kid, but definitely not one of Roald Dahl’s best. Only one of my kids was into this book, and the other lost interest.

The BFG is darker than I remember. The plot is unbelievable, but there's no doubt that children will love this story just as much as I did when I first read it. Sophie and The BFG are lovable characters.
Roald Dahl's children's books are imaginative, witty, whimsical and humorous.
