James and the Giant Peach

I loved that book. It was so good. I wonder if you could sell more of them. Thankyou. Bye.Jacob (age 7)

Love this story and Roald Dahl for giving it to us to be able to read for ourselves and our children and our children’s children

Albertine loved this story and wanted to give it five stars. She especially liked the bits where all the children gather round to eat the peach. She says she didn’t like the bit with the aeroplane and the strings and what happened then.

I'd listened to Roald Dahl books as a child, my dad always read to me. Now I'm reading them to my kids and the stories are still gripping, funny and so descriptive. They always ask me to keep reading at the end of a chapter, always eager to find out what happens next. It's a lovely time to spend with them and stirring their imagination. If you have kids, Roald Dahl books should be top of the list

Bought and read with my son, who’s 6 years old. I read this story when I was younger.Might have been a little long for him, so we’ve book marked the page. Will re-read with him and hope he’ll read the book himself when he is ready and able to!

I loved this book when I was a child and reading it again at 43 to another child and watching the excitement in their eyes is wonderful.

A wonderful story. Loved by a 5 year old, 7 year old and 42 year old! A real classic. Everybody will love this story.

Always loved Roald Dahl as a child and my girls have the same love for reading as I do. Bought this to add to my 7 year olds collection and she absolutely loves it. Great bedtime reading!

Item arrived quickly, in great condition and as advertized.

James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake is a great book if you want to be entertained, or are starting to read chapter books. This book, published in 1961, is one of the most famous books worldwide to this day. It is a fictional-fantasy story and has a child-friendly plot. I would say the book is good for anyone from 8 to 14 years old.James and the Giant Peach is a very descriptive book and makes it easy to imagine the scenes. This story starts off in London, England, in the countryside in James’s aunt’s house. Later on, James meets bugs inside the peach. The peach then ends up in the Atlantic Ocean and arrives in America.James is the protagonist. His friends are giant bugs named Old-Green-Grasshopper, Centipede, Earthworm, Spider, and Ladybug. Although these bugs can be impatient, they cooperate with James and are friendly to him.James is a curious orphan who was trapped with his cruel aunts for many years. One day, his aunts went to their garden and found an enormous peach on one of the trees. The aunts locked him outside of the house for some time as punishment, and that's when he spotted the giant peach. He examined the peach and found a big hole. Big enough for James to fit in it. He stepped into the hole and found the seed of the peach. The seed of the peach opened. James went inside where he met his future friends. Unfortunately, not after long, the peach started rolling, and rolling, and rolling. And that’s how his adventure begins.James and the Giant Peach is filled with descriptive scenes and vivid words like “hurtled” or “plunged” which makes the book fun to read. It is very easy to imagine and feels like you're in the story itself. This novel is similar to other Roald Dahl books such as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Both books are easy to picture and have fun words in them such as “scrumptious”, “delectable”, or “enraptured”. The common theme can be that karma comes around.Even though James was treated poorly by his aunts, he doesn’t become bitter or mean spirited. He still helped out the bugs. This shows that you can help out people and make friends even when it seems like you can’t. The theme of James and the Giant Peach relates to my life when I switched schools in fifth grade. I thought I wouldn’t be able to make friends or have fun. Soon someone did end up making friends with me, and then I had hope about making more friends. In just a little bit of time, I was having a lot of fun during recess and had many friends.

good book for kids

The book is a very nice average-size hardback edition. However, I was quite surprised to open it and see that the entire book has been printed with an orange ink. Or is a PEACH color they are aiming for? I mention this because it is just a bit more difficult on the eyes for reading, especially if your sight is impaired. Otherwise the book is great.

Fiquei bem decepcionada porque em nenhum momento foi informado que seria uma espécie de edição econômica. O livro não tem orelha e as páginas são tipo um jornal, bem escuras.
