![]() ![]() ![]() I'm sure all of these changes in emotion help children stay gripped by this quirky little book. The story then becomes a bit of a roller-coaster, with Sophie alternately happy to get to know her new friend better, then terrified of being eaten by the other giants who most definitely aren't friendly, then charmed to learn about where dreams come from, then horrified to realise how many other children are being eaten by the giants every night. ![]() ![]() But things seem to improve for Sophie when she realises she has been kidnapped by the Big Friendly Giant, BFG, who does not eat children, or even grown-up ‘human beans’. Unfortunately, the giant also sees her and snatches her out the window and takes her back to Giant Country with him. She sees a strange figure walking up the street and realises it is a giant. Unable to sleep one night because of the light coming in through her window, she gets up to pull the curtains shut. This story starts off quite badly for eight-year-old Sophie. ![]()
