James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl March 29, 2009
Posted by jcarlson in : Fantasy , trackback
James Henry Trotter and his mother and father lived by the seashore. One day his mother and father went to London to do some shopping. They suddenly got eaten by a huge rhinoceros. Then James had to live with his two aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, who lived on the top of the hillside. “Get to work, you pest!” Aunt Spiker said, yelling at James. Crying, he went over to a bush. A little man walked out and gave James a bag with magical creatures inside. James tripped and the creatures went near the peach tree. Soon after the peach tree grew a peach the size of an elephant. To see the peach, you had to pay. That night James found a hole in the peach, and that’s where the adventure begins. If you want to hear the rest of the great adventure, you should take out James and the Giant Peach. This is one of the best books Roald Dahl has written.

I enjoyed reading all of Roald Dahl’s books. He had a great imagination and good sense of humor. I wonder how many of his books have been made into movies. This one, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda … any others?

Awesome job! I absolutely LOVED reading this book! My favorite book by Roald Dahl has to be Matilda, though. This book is so funny and has a lot of adventure scenes in it.
I read a little bit of this book and I stopped because I didn’t really like it, I guess it’s just not my type I would recomend, if you want to read this book, you should still try it, you might like it, even if I didn’t.
I love james and the giant peach i think it is sooooooo cool that some one thought of a giant peach. james and the giant peach would be a good idea for a younger kid to read this because its full of adventure and im so very shure that little kids like that. :)from rachel a fourth grader
