The BFG by Roald Dahl

When Sophie is snatched from her orphanage bed by the BFG (Big Friendly Giant), she fears she will be eaten. But the two join forces to vanquish the nine other far less gentle giants who threaten to consume earth’s children.

Despite the somewhat dark synopsis, The BFG is a hysterical book and is best read aloud to your kids. Be prepared for some extended giggling sessions!

When I was teaching, I would read this book to my class. The school library was across the hall and the librarian would open her door and listen in. We often heard her laughing along with us.

World Read Aloud Day is February 24th. Celebrate by Reading The BFG aloud with your young reader!
