Roald Dahl has written some of the world’s most timeless children’s classic literature. The BFG is one of my personal favorites from my childhood. Many of his works have been turned into plays and movies, including The BFG,which was made into a movie this summer and is now available on Blu-Ray/DVD.
The BFG Blu-Ray/DVD has lots of great bonus features, too, but they vary depending on the version you get!

- Bringing The BFG to Life – Ruby Barnhill (Sophie) hosts a phizz-whizzing journey through the making of The BFG.
