I liked the book James and the Giant Peach because it has giant critters and it's funny! James and the Giant Peach is a book about a boy named James and he lived with two mean aunts. His aunts' names were Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge. One day when James was chopping down a tree, he saw a man in the bushes. The man gave him 10 green things and he told James to sneak in to the house and get a big jug of water and put the green things in the water and drink it all. His Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker saw him and James fell and all the green things fell out of the bag and disappeared into the ground. The next day James woke up and there was a peach on the peach tree. The peach tree had never produced a peach before. His Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker saw a little tiny blossom. The peach that was growing, kept growing and growing and growing! At night, James snuck out of the house and discovered a hole in the peach. Inside the peach he crawled and crawled until he came to the stone in the middle of the peach. And there was a door that appears on the stone. James knocked on the door and Miss Ladybug opens the door. There are bugs in the stone! They have been waiting for James to come. There was Miss Ladybug, Miss Spider, a centipede, an earthworm, a grasshopper, a glow worm and a silk worm. The next morning Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker went out to see the peach. The Centipede went on top of the peach to bite thru the stem. The peach rolled and Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker were out looking for James and the peach rolled over the top of them and SQISHED them flat! The peach rolled into the Atlantic Ocean and traveled and traveled. You have to read the book to find out what happens next! By Victoria - 2nd grader(dictated by Victoria; typed by mom!)
