The Big Friendly Giant (the BFG for short)

This book is an excellent story that I say is for anyone who stumbles upon it. (but there is the problem that some copies of it, like the one from the library or school, have a boring cover. But you can't judge a book by it's outfit, at least not unless...OH, BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!) Anyway, this thing is Hilarious, Unpredictable, and 'Super-glued to your hands' (if you get what I mean) all at the same time. Even though that sounds impossible to write, well, here it is!

Here's the story, in a nutshell: One dark night, alarmed Sophie spots a giant stomping the streets. But soon she realizes that he isn't having a midnight snack, he's messing with this trumpet (or, should I say, tuba) thingy. Suddenly he snatches her and takes her to his cave. But Sophie soon (not very soon, but who cares) that he is the BFG, and he lives up to his name. After a long and fun time in the cave, Sophie learns about the other giants terrible diets, and is willing to risk her only life to defeat them. But HOW? Read the book to find out, and trust me, it has a happy ending.

Aside from all that, the BFG talks funny, for example, instead of "right or wrong" he says "right or left". This is why I wouldn't rate it for preschoolers, since they might learn 'giant speak' instead of American-english or english-english. But please don't call it bad for that. :-)
