The BFG – “If I were a giant…”

To celebrate the UK release of The BFG in July 2016, the folks at The Book People (an online bookseller) asked a year two class at St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School in West Yorkshire to describe what they’d do if they were a giant. Students were also asked to describe what they’d look like and draw a picture. The results were very creative!

The top boy and girl’s ideas were then turned into beautiful designs by a professional artist.
