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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"All the gruesome imagery of old-fashioned fairy tales and a good measure of their breathtaking delight.\" —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"A stunning book, to be cherished for its story, a superb fantasy.\" —\u003ci\u003eThe Chicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"The most original fantasy that has been published in a long time...[it] may well become a classic.\" —\u003ci\u003eSan Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Puffin Books","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52158111514784,"sku":"9780140374247-new","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0463\/0115\/1392\/files\/51s7eznBnFL_290b07f4-dacd-4f56-84d1-7d832a61d4a8.jpg?v=1736152959","url":"https:\/\/shop.mtwyouth.org\/products\/james-and-the-giant-peach-9780140374247-new-1","provider":"More Than Words ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
