Description

If she was going to be eaten, she'd rather get it over and done with right away than be kept hanging around any more. Japanese beans is very small, so a giant will need to gobble up about six Japanese before he is feeling full up. As with the American President in Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Dahl neither parodies The Queen nor praises her effusively. They include making inferences exercises, character profile activities, guided reading questions and vocabulary activities on key phrases from the book, such as snozzcumber, dream jar and bloodbottler!

The BFG Summary | GradeSaver The BFG Summary | GradeSaver

Lots of new words were learned for me in this story that even though are not real words i may still use them scrumdiliumptchus was one of my personal favorites… I rate the BFG with four stars for such a great one- hundred and fifty pages before slipping… The artwork was great and i loved not being able to put the story book down. It was a wet and slimy hiding-place, but what did that matter if it was going to save her from being eaten. Then it would slide on to the next house and stop again, and peer in, and so on all along the street. Looking out of her window, she sees a mysterious Giant Man in the street, carrying a suitcase and a trumpet.The Bloodbottler Suddenly, a tremendous thumping noise came from outside the cave entrance and a voice like thunder shouted, 'Runt! But before he had finished speaking, the stone was rolled aside and a fifty-foot giant, more than twice as tall and wide as the BFG, came striding into the cave. The Marvellous Ears Back in the cave, the Big Friendly Giant sat Sophie down once again on the enormous table. The ludicrousness of the ending with the Queen was probably secondary to the nonsense words, although my daughter seemed to like it enough that every time I suggested we pack in in and give it back to the library she begged to carry on. If you do go back, you will be telling the world,' said the BFG, 'most likely on the telly-telly bunkum box and the radio squeaker.

Home | Roald Dahl

While the previous Roald Dahl books we whipped through pretty quickly, this one seemed to take ages, in fact it was quite overdue at the library when we finally got it back (lucky they don't fine kids isn't it! Another niggling doubt about the book was the resolution with the giants being imprisoned in a giant pit, doomed to eat disgusting snozzcumbers for the rest of their lives. Although the giants are portrayed as mean in the scene during which they toss around the BFG, emphasis is continuously on how the giants are "half-naked and disgusting" in their appearance and smell. One moment he is telling me my head is full of squashed flies and the next moment his heart is melting for me because Mrs Clonkers locks us in the cellar.Dahl takes readers on a wonderful journey through some interesting ideas to present one of the central stories known to many young Dahl readers. The BFG and Sophie work together to convince the Queen, through a dream sequence, that these events have taken place and that Sophie is the key to helping find the giants.
