The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants—rather than the BFG—she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

I hate books that purposely use improper grammar. It is impossible to get into the story, and I focus more on the stupidity of the grammar than on the storyline.
Excellent, endearing. Great messaging for kiddos, and very funny for adults.
I is love this book.
Roald Dahl's clever tale is written in a winning combination of “langwitches”: common English and giant-speak. The frequency of nonsensical words only elevates the level of amusement, and the entertainingly expressive nature of the BFG makes this a choice book to read aloud. “The BFG” is better than “The Twits” and a wonderful introduction to Dahl's artful storytelling.
