Magic Dust: Imagine The BFG

Estimated Time: 15+ minutes

Sophie is able to catch glimpses of her "snatcher" from the window, and after he takes her to his home. This is how the author describes the BFG:

"Sophie caught a glimpse of an enormous long pale wrinkly face with the most enormous ears. The nose was as sharp as a knife, and above the nose there were two bright flashing eyes...

...he was wearing a sort of collarless shirt and a dirty old leather waistcoat that didn't seem to have any buttons. His trousers were faded green and were far too short in the legs. On his bare feet he was wearing a pair of ridiculous sandals that for some reason had holes cut along each side, with a large hole at the end where his toes stuck out.

He had truly enormous ears. Each one was as big as the wheel of a truck and he seemed to be able to move them inwards and outwards from his head as he wished.

He grinned, showing massive square teeth. The teeth were very white and very square and they sat in his mouth like huge slices of white bread."
