The Big Friendly Giant:

Sophie, an orphan girl, finds herself whisked away by a
giant as she looks out her dormitory window one dark
night. The only reason the giant snatched her is because
he was afraid that if she told anyone about him, the
“human beans” would have a giant hunt and put him in
a zoo! Luckily for Sophie, this is the Big Friendly Giant
and he never eats “human beans,” only the horrible
vegetable “snozzcumbers.” He’s a gentle, thoughtful,
vegetarian giant. But the other mean giants eat people.
Sophie soon learns that the BFG spends most of his time
collecting and spreading good dreams by blowing them
from a trumpet into the windows of boys and girls.
Through the use of puppets and masks, this wonderful
story of an unlikely friendship unfolds: Sophie finds a
friend she can count on and the BFG finds a friend who
can accept him for who he is. Sophie and the BFG soon
discover that the other giants are planning to go to
England and eat children who live in orphanages. They
enlist the help of the Queen of England who calls out her
army and air force to capture the bad giants and put
them in a zoo. The Queen invites Sophie to live with her
and asks the BFG to promise and visit each year on
Sophie’s birthday.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:

Poor Charlie Bucket is practically starving to death, but his luck changes for the better when he wins a lifetime supply of candy--and a chance to visit Willy Wonka's fabulous, top-secret chocolate factory. This charming, irreverent tale, one of Roald Dahl's best, has captivated children for more than thirty years.

Five lucky people who find a Golden Ticket wrapped in one of Willy Wonka's wonderful candy bars win a visit to his mysterious chocolate factory. Charlie Bucket is too poor to buy more than one candy bar a year, so when he wins a ticket, his whole family celebrates.

The four other lucky children are not as nice as Charlie, and they're punished for their bad behavior. Greedy Augustus Gloop falls into the chocolate river he's trying to drink from and gets sucked up a pipe. Chewing-gum addict Violet Beauregarde grabs a stick of gum that blows her up into a giant blueberry. Spoiled Veruca Salt is deemed a "bad nut" by Wonka's trained squirrels and thrown in the garbage. And Mike Teavee demands to be "sent by television" and gets shrunk in the process. But there's a wonderful surprise waiting for Charlie at the end of the tour.- he gets to own the factory!
