This week one of my reading groups is working on an excerpt from The BFG. This whole group is made up of some pretty clever and funny kids who have a lot of personality.
Some of them had heard of this story before, or had even seen the movie that was made after the book. They did not know or recall, though, what BFG stood for. The guesses started: Baby Fat Giant... Boy Funny Giant! Big Farting Giant? (This one even got a good laugh from me.) Big Fat Ugly Giant! Oh, wait, there's no U. And on they went. Was it the most productive use of 3 minutes? No. But it definitely brought the group closer together, for us all to share laughs.
