The BFG--Big Friendly Giant--is no ordinary bone-crushing giant: he is far too nice. How he and his tiny friend, Sophie, conspire to put an end to the loathsome activities of the other Giants is marvelously told by a writer and an artist who are uncanny in their understanding of what children like to read and see.--The New York Times Book Review.

It's late at night, and Little Bear, unable to sleep, tiptoes into his parents bedroom. He wakes up his father and says, "Dad, there's a monster under the bed!" Naturally, Dad tells Little Bear to go back to sleep, but Little Bear keeps on insisting that a monster is lurking under the bed. Finally, Little Bear tells Dad something about that monster that simply cannot be ignored. A wonderful, pop-up paper monster on the book's final spread will surprise every little boy or girl who opens this book. Full-page illustrations on every page are rendered in darkly atmospheric colors.
