The BFG by Roald Dahl

This Book is very interesting. I don’t read books too often, but this book got my attention and I really enjoyed it! The best bit was when the Queen met Sophie and the B.F.G. I don’t think there was a bad part because it was a really AWESOME book. This book can be read and enjoyed by everyone, young and old. Even if you do not like reading books, give this one a try and I promise you that you will really enjoy it! 4 Stars.

Happy Birthday BFG

admin

Whoopsey-splunkers! Today is the 30th birthday of Roald Dahl’s splendiferous book The BFG.

We have a few different ways you can get the BFG from your library. There is the book, of course, or you can listen to the story on CD, or even act it out yourselves with the BFG play. What about downloading it? Grab The BFG as an eBook or audio book from our website – I wonder if the BFG ever dreamed of doing that?!

Roald Dahl has a great website that you really should visit. You can find out all about Roald Dahl, his fabulous books, play games, do activities, enter competitions. You can even find out about Roald Dahl Day (13 September – its his birthday) and get planning for some whoppsy-wiffling flushbunking gloriumptious piggery-jokery.

Scrumdiddlyumptious!

 

My fav Roald Dahl book is The Twits. What’s yours?

The Witches by Roald Dahl

It’s about an orphan boy and he goes on holiday with his grandma but he gets turned into a mouse by a witch!  But he gets them before they turn all the children into mice as well.  It’s characters were the witches, a boy (or mouse) and grandma.  The best part of the story was when the witches got turned into mice and the worst part was when the grand high witch took off her mask.  I think this was written for boys and girls.

Dumb Creatures by Jeanne Willis

I liked this book because it is about a boy called Tom who is unable to speak and likes to visit the zoo.  He meets a gorilla called Zanzi.  Zanzi signs to Tom and they soon get to know eachother by signing.  My favourite character is Zanzi the gorilla.  10/10.

Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren

Lauren recommends Pippi Longstockings and likes Pippi because she is really strong.  10/10.

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

Madeleine has been reading The Wind in the Willows and recommends it because it’s really funny and the animals go on a big journey.  10/10.
