James and the Giant Peach
by Authors:
Roald Dahl, Lane Smith
Paperback Description:
When poor James Henry Trotter loses his parents in a horrible rhinoceros accident, he is forced to live with his two wicked aunts, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. After three years he becomes "the saddest and loneliest boy you could find." Then one day, a wizened old man in a dark-green suit gives James a bag of magic crystals that promise to reverse his misery forever. When James accidentally spills the crystals on his aunts' withered peach tree, he sets the adventure in motion. From the old tree a single peach grows, and grows, and grows some more, until finally James climbs inside the giant fruit and rolls away from his despicable aunts to a whole new life. James befriends an assortment of hilarious characters, including Grasshopper, Earthworm, Miss Spider, and Centipede--each with his or her own song to sing. Roald Dahl's rich imagery and amusing characters ensure that parents will not tire of reading this classic aloud, which they will no doubt be called to do over and over again! With the addition of witty black and white pencil drawings by Lane Smith (of The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs fame), upon which the animation for the Disney movie was based, this classic, now in paperback, is bursting with renewed vigor. We'll just come right out and say it: James and the Giant Peach is one of the finest children's books ever written. (Ages 9 to 12)

Jame And The Giant Peach - Not Just A Fanciful Read For The Kiddies
I think that whenever I re-read James And The Giant Peach by Roald Dahl, I am transfixed by the fact that it was merely a child's story written by the author who brought us Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and Matilda and so many other wonderful classics. Why do I love it? I am an adult with children of my own. Shouldn't they be reading it instead of dear old dad? Well...yes & no. Roald Dahl wrote many things in his lifetime and though he is remembered best for his children's fiction, he wrote a number of macabre tales and other adult-oriented stuff. He never talked down in his books to kids and that is probably why I love James so much. It was first read to me by a teacher in the fifth grade. I can recall, each day at reading time, being entralled by the book, taking delight in every outlandish twist and turn. As an adult, I gotta say, I still get a pretty big kick out of it. So come along, join me and James Henry Trotter. Watch out for Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker. Is that a grasshopper, and a spider, and a centipede, and an earthworm....
Dig it!
GOOD GRASCIOUS PEACH!!!!
It follows in the footsteps of cinderella and nightmare before christmas. Absolutely loved every second of it. Thw riting is very clever and the story awakens an imagination you never thought you had.
I was hooked from the moment of the horrible rhinoceros accident
This was one of my favorite Roald Dahl books as a child, perhaps second only to Fantastic Mr. Fox. Maybe it was because I grew up on a farm with a vast orchard, so the idea that one of our peach trees might miraculously produce such a grand vessel to adventure was deliciously enticing to me (well, this was far more plausible then winning a contest to the world's greatest chocolate factory-and, truthfully, I was never much of a candyholic anyways-my brother generally finished off all the Easter treats in my basket, lest they just give in to mold). At any rate, I loved this book, from the moment that the parents of poor little James were so horribly dispatched by the terrible rhinoceros. I think every kid pretty much knows that this story meant business by that point! The wonderful characters make this story; it's just too bad that these delightful insects never really translated into film. What else to say? This book is a classic, and serves as the perfect example as to why Roald Dahl remains a perpetual favorite with young people.
