She then warns the BFG about the Fleshlumpeater who is looking after her to which after discussing with him about the giant she talked about, the BFG and Sophie walk outside and plan to get to the top of the mountain without disturbing the Fleshlumpeater's henchmen only for the BFG to be grabbed by the Bloodbottler just as Sophie escapes into a cab to which the Gizzardgulper carries the vehicle still with Sophie inside as the two giants speed toward each other to which BFG manages to escape from them with Sophie on his hand.

The Boy In The Dress Many schools now ask the children to dress up as one of Roald Dahls characters for Roald Dahl Day. What is Roald Dahl Day? The BFG himself is a big hit for World Book Day, but if you don't fancy creating those big ears, this could be an easier option. Just a tutu and headband or bow would be enough to make it work if you've not got the whole kit and caboodle.

This costume is great because it does not involve sewing. All you need is some cardboard, PVA glue, tape, and paint to create the hat and the cane, and some felt tip sheets to create the clothing. The difficulty is of a beginner level, so even if you do not have any special skills, you should be able to do it. 2. Oompa Loompa Sophie is a very simple character to recreate. All you need is pyjamas or a nightie, some glasses and your own tub of 'sweet dreams' and you've got your very own orphan. Adapt a PE or sports kit, or their school uniform - think Football Academy for sports kit, Harry Potter and St Trinian's for the uniform. Sophie is an orphan who befriended the BFG (Big Friendly Giant). She mentions her parents saying that they died when she was a baby.Again this one's more about the accessories than the clothes themselves so you might need to get a bit crafty.

And they don't even have to have a bath the night before if you want some true pong to accompany the outfit. Make a simple mask. Paper plates are great for making simple masks. You can turn your child into pretty much any World Book Day character they fancy with a little crafting. After that, cut the holes for the hands, legs, and heads, and cover them with blue material. Match it with some bue leggings, blue hair, blue shirt, and blue face paint, and you’ll officially be Violet Beauregarde expanding into a giant blueberry. 4. Veruca Salt
