Seeing as we recently saw the new movie I thought it must be time for a re-read of the BFG. This is easily my favourite of Roald Dahl's books, it's so much fun doing all the voices, I was even complimented by my daughter that I sounded like the BFG...hadn't even started the book when that happened.

Not sure what I can say about this book, everybody knows all about it, whether from the book or the movie versions. It's about a giant who steals a little girl and takes her back to his hovel to see his jars of dreams, there are some bad giants, I do feel sorry for them, they only turned out that way because of the names their parents gave them...anyway the Queen comes to the rescue.

Wonderful illustrations by Quentin Blake as usual, there is so much detail in what at first looks like a little scribble on the page, the bloke is a genius.

Love this book! this version comes with a set of ears at the back you can cut out...guess what I'm doing tomorrow. :-)
