Summary: Emma's Review
Review: Being an orphan isn't easy, but being Sophie must have been harder. Imagine a giant hand coming through your bedroom window and snatching you out of bed!

Well, one night during the Witching Hour, Sophie, a little orphan, couldn't get to sleep. Then she heard something. Little Sophie crept out of bed and up to the windowsill. All of a sudden, a giant hand shot through the window like an arrow and picked Sophie up. Then this giant "Thing" galloped off to some place, also known as Giant Country.

When she got there, Sophie learned about nine blood thirsty giants, who went to gobble up people each night. Sophie decided she had to stop them. She cooked up a plan to save the world with the BFG. Will Sophie's plan work or will the world have no one left?

The BFG is like a giant dad. He is very caring and loves kids. Sophie is very brave, intelligent, and has a knack for adventure. Together, these two make a great team to save England and the rest of the world. I highly recommend this book to all Roald Dahl fans.

Review: Imagine you were a young orphan tossing and turning because you can't sleep. Then all of the sudden a big, giant hand comes in through your window and lifts you out of your bed! The next thing you know you are bouncing around in a wool pocket.

The BFG was a great book. The orphan, Sophie, was actually in the BFG's (Big Friendly Giant) pocket. He took her off the map of London to his giant land. There grazing on a huge feild, was nine gross looking giants.

I can compare my dad and I to the BFG and Sophie. One time when I was standing near the pool, I accidently stepped backward and almost fell in. The reason I didn't was because my dad caught me. It reminds me of when the BFG helps Sophie when she is in need and Sophie helps the BFG when he is in need.

The book was about how Sophie and the BFG try to save the children of the world from getting eaten up by those nine disgusting giants. Can they help the world? Find out if they can and how they do it by reading the book the BFG.

Summary: BIG FRIENDLY GIANT
Review: Hi I am a 5th grader at Bowdoin Central school. Even though I read this book in 2nd grade it is still one of my favorite books.
This is a great book about a girl who sees a giant through her bedroom window at night. Fortounatly for her the giant she sees doesn't eat humans like his fellow giants. He takes her in to live with him and protecets her from the other giants. The dioluge in this book is hilarious and the charecters (especially the giant) are very amusing. I would recommend this book for mostly all ages.Roald Dahl is a very talented writer.

Summary: A WONDERFUL STORY
Review: The BFG, by Roald Dahl, is an interesting story about a girl named Sophie who gets picked up out of the orphanage by some giant who she thinks is going to eat her, but he doesn't, all because she saw him walking about. The BFG stands for BIG FRIENDLY GIANT. He makes up some words likie whizzpopping and frobcottle. There are nine other giants lurking countrys every night gobbling up little chddlers he calls them. He also catches dreams and mixes them up to make very bad dreams called trogglehumpers. He mixes up a trogglehumper for the Queen of England to believe there are giants and she will because she will dream Sophie is sitting outside her windowsill and she will be there. The queen and troops go and get the giants when they are asleep with helicopters. They bring them to a hole and keep them in there. The BFG gets a home with the Queen. Right utside her door.

Summary: The BFG
Review: My book review is about the book (The BFG). "The book is written by Roald Dahl. This book is about a little girl and a giant .The girl was captured from the giant. Sense
Sophie saw him. When she was getting very hungry, she asks the BFG (big friendly giant) if he has anything to eat, but the food was very disgusting so she asks about drinks. The drink was called wiz popping. So they did wiz popping (farting very big\tall).
I like how the book the BFG has a lot of funny things. This book starts in a weird way. There isn't a lot of action in this book but it does tell you what giants eat and this book is really funny. I think that the BFG of the main character shows courage and strength but the other doesn't. The character that shows strength and courage is the BFG, but Sophie (a little girl) only hides.
The theme of this book is follow your thoughts and any thing can happen. A passage in this book that follows my thought says "Sophie wanted to get rid of the mean giants. So she goes to the queen of England." I think this book is the funniest and best book you can ever read.

Summary: A "squakling" good read!
Review: This "squakling" (very good) book by Roald Dahl writes about a girl who is snatched from her bed by a giant and lives with him. Soon she finds out a lot about the giant -- and other giants around that eat "chiddlers" (kids) each night for supper. But the giant that captures Sophie isn't a meateater, he is actually The Big Friendly Giant (BFG).

Sophie was a 9-year-old orphan, who was awake in her bed when suddenly she saw a huge shadow on the streets of England.

She couldn't figure out what it was. It was holding a trumpet and a briefcase. Then the thing turned around and saw Sophie. . . and Sophie saw it was giant! The giant snatched Sophie away and ran, ran, ran until they reached a weird place, kind of a desert with blue rocks.

Sophie figured she was going to die because she believed no giants were friendly and the giant would eat her as soon as they got to the giant's cave. But Sophie was wrong. The giant explained that he was a friendly giant and that there were other giants twice as big, like: the Fleshlumpeater, the Bonecruncher, the Manhugger, the Childchewer, the Meatdripper, the Gizzardgulper, the Maidmasher, the Bloodblottler and the Butcherboy.

Sophie soon found out that every night those giants went to all sorts of places to eat men , women and especially children.

Sophie wants to stop these giants. But how? She, the BFG and the Queen of England find a plan to do it.

This is one of my favourite books because it's funny and like no other book. I think my favourite part is when the BFG is explaining why he kidnapped Sophie and everything. It's funny because when the BFG explains he doesn't know how to talk properly so he gets his words all mixed up.

My least favourite part in the book was at the very beginning because it was boring when Sophie was just lying in bed looking out the window. But in every book I find the beginning very boring. Roald Dahl is probably my favourite author. I highly recommend this book to kids who like reading about made-up things.

Summary: An awesome book!
Review: I would die in an orphanage, but imagine how a 9-year-old orphan named Sophie feels if she can't get up in the night to go to the potty. I'd say she'd feel pretty crummy, until... one night she saw a dark shadow during the witching hour (midnight) walking around England with a horn and a brief case. Sophie had no idea what it was until she was snatched out of her bed and rushed to a land of purple and gray rocks to find herself in a giant's cave.
Sophie assumed she was going to be eaten by the giant until he explained that he was the BFG, which stood for the Big Friendly Giant. The BFG warned Sophie about the other mean chiddler(kid)-eating giants and how they went off during the nights to different places for their juicy kid dinners. Sophie was mad when she heard this, so she came up with a plan to stop them. She thought that the only person who could stop them and who had enough power was the Queen of England. Sophie's plan was for she and the BFG to convince the Queen that Fleshlumper, the Banecrunder, the Manhugger, the Bloodbottler, the Butcher Boy, the Childchewer, the Meatdripper, the Gizzardgulper and the Maidmasher were giants eating up little kids from all around the world. She also wanted the Queen to meet the one nice giant who wanted to help her. But will their plan work? Read the book and find out...
If you read this book I'm sure you will like it. It has lots of funny words like gizzardgulper or phizzwizard, and exciting, mysterious and somewhat scary parts that you're sure to like. In this book the author Roald Dahl brings out the funny childish words because he knows it will be catching kids' and parents' eyes. If you don't read this book you will be missing out on a lot of fun and silly but educated paragraphs. The BFG is a great book and everybody will like it so read it and enjoy it.
