Puffin Books James and the Giant Peach

All family enjoyed the bedtime story

Roald Dahl's style has you entering into the character's shoes and living out his experience like it's your own, especially in this book and his other classic, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If you loved that one you'll like this too, and if you liked this one you'll love that one.One of the advantages of having children is that you get to enjoy reading the children's classics again, and pick up the subtleties you missed the first time.Read to your kids, it's good for them and for you, and I'm addressing you dad's out there!

This is a nice A4-ish size book, which i prefer to the smaller size paperbacks. The illustrations are fab as always as is the story, the bigger book just makes it easier for us all to get a good look at the pages at bed-time!

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

Read this to my son when he was in hospital after he was first born.. made me very happy as we named him after this book.

One of my favourite books growing up. Wanted a new version
