The BFG (which stands for "Big Friendly Giant") is a children's book written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake, first published in 1982. An animated film based on the book was released in 1989 with David Jason providing the voice of the BFG and Amanda Root as the voice of Sophie (a character Dahl based on his own granddaughter). The book was an expansion of a story told in Danny, the Champion of the World, an earlier Dahl book. The book won the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis.
This is one of the first books I made. I would say it's an intermediate to advanced ESL reader. It's a compilation of short stories taken from Rong-Chang, I added a few pictures and put it together in a crisp and clean pdf file. It's basically a reading comprehension book with exercises and the teacher can improvise with some conversation questions based on the stories. Each section has some vocabulary which can be translated to a native language or used to make sentences with. There are Dictation exercises and a crossword puzzle based on the story after each story. I threw in a few grammar exercises.
