About this product

Product Information

From the bestselling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG ! Roald Dahl was a champion of the underdog and all things little--in this case, an orphaned boy oppressed by two nasty, self-centered aunts. How James escapes his miserable life with the horrible aunts and becomes a hero is a Dahlicious fantasy of the highest order. You will never forget resourceful little James and his new family of magically overgrown insects--a ladybug, a spider, a grasshopper, a glowworm, a silkworm, and the chronic complainer, a centipede with a hundred gorgeous shoes. Their adventures aboard a luscious peach as large as a house take them across the Atlantic Ocean, through waters infested with peach-eating sharks and skies inhabited by malevolent Cloudmen, to a ticker-tape parade in New York City. This happily ever after contemporary fairy tale is a twentieth-century classic that every child deserves to know. And Lane Smith's endearingly funny illustrations are a perfect match for the text. "All the gruesome imagery of old-fashioned fairy tales and a good measure of their breathtaking delight." -- Kirkus Reviews "A stunning book, to be cherished for its story, a superb fantasy." -- The Chicago Tribune "The most original fantasy that has been published in a long time...[it] may well become a classic." -- San Francisco Chronicle

"This newly-illustrated edition of an avowed children's favorite has all the makings of a classic match-up: Milne had Shepard, Carroll had Tenniel, and now Dahl has Smith...author and illustrator were made for each other, and it's of little consequence that it took almost 35 years for them to meet" -- Kirkus . , "This newly-illustrated edition of an avowed children's favorite has all the makings of a classic match-up: Milne had Shepard, Carroll had Tenniel, and now Dahl has Smith...author and illustrator were made for each other, and it's of little consequence that it took almost 35 years for them to meet" -- Kirkus .

Classic Exciting Children's Book
I was in elementary (maybe 3rd grade) when a substitute brought this book to school to read to us. I remember being fascinated by the little boy staying inside a giant peach. I remember day dreaming what it would be like. Now (almost 23 years later)I saw the book and just HAD to get it!!! I read it to my children (ages 4,6 and 7). Some few words I had to omit (can't believe the author used the word ass). But other than a few shocks (didn't remember that the aunts were so mean to the poor little boy), we were all gobbling up this book! It's fun, thrilling, adventurous and it was so nice to cuddle up with my kids for a week and read this book.

the peach is brused;
the rating of "good" is not how I would rat it,this particular book is pretty beat up, or should I say "well read" it's price was 4.06, OK, but I would have felt beater at like1.50,just because of how ruff shape it's in,other then that i'm ok with their prices on books

Roald Dahl is a must read author!
Roald Dahl is an author that definitely needs to be read to children. I absolutely loved his books growing up and my children love him now. We like James and the Giant Peach, but I would have to say our favorites are George's Marvelous Medicine or the Witches. Some of my favorites are Boy and Flying Solo. Definitely a good read for anyone.
