"It is the most scrumdiddlyumptious story.”

Does anyone else remember this sensational read by Roald Dahl??

"I is the only nice and jumbly Giant in Giant Country. I is the Big Friendly Giant. I is The BFG!"

This is what The BFG says to the little orphan girl, Sophie, after plucking her from her bedroom window and taking her to his home in Giant country. He also explains to Sophie that he collects good dreams in Dream Country and at the "witching hour" he goes through the streets and blows these good dreams into the windows of children.

 This book was a reading assignment in 5th grade and still remains one of my favorites until this day. I love this story of The BFG and Sophie's adventures together. The BFG has an awful time with grammar and often misuses words. I've snagged some of his more humorous words and phrases for personal use and when the moment is right I giddily pull one out! 

I HOPE that some of you have had the pleasure of reading this funny, and heartfelt tale. If so please share your favorite part of the book or your favorite word or phrase used by The BFG. :) I would say that the word that I still use most often would be "disgusterous". I highly recommend The BFG to anyone who hasn't read it and suggest reading it to your children or any youngsters in your life. I hope to get some feedback and discussions going on this post, so don't be shy!

I almost forgot to mention that there was also a movie made from the book that I thoroughly enjoyed as well. But I'm one to always choose the book over the movie adaption but if reading isn't your thing you can check out the movie!
