This book is so funny, It almost made me cry from laughing so hard! This book may notbe the best book for young children, because some ofthe jokes ae a little grown up, but I'm not saying they are crude jokes, they arn't!!!
Book Review: Our Class Opinion
Summary: 5 Stars
(My first grade students have created a review to share with other readers. This what they wrote.)
There was a little boy, James, who lived with his two mean ugly aunts. Sadly, his mom and dad were eaten by a rhino. The aunts made him work, he couldn't have friends, and he couldn't go to the beach. One day a little green old man gave him magical crystals but James dropped them! Later, in the spot where he dropped them, James found a huge peach. He went inside and found a strange surprising sight and his life was changed!
We thought this story was totally awesome because there were a lot of surprising things that happened. Every day, we couldn't wait to read the next chapter! James and his new friends went on a great peachy adventure!
Book Review: Get a Grip; It's a great book
Summary: 5 Stars
Some parents need to get a grip. The line: "Don't be an ass." is a well known phrase which means, "Don't be stupid like a donkey!" It has nothing to do with the posterior region of a person's body. Shakespeare uses this comparison in "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The use of the word "ass" for "donkey" can likewise be found in the New Testament: "And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon." John 12.
Dahl is an amazing writer who appeals to children of all ages. "James and the Giant Peach" is both witty and poignant, and should be read by anyone with a quirky sense of humor. Particularly appealing are the well drawn characterizations of James' bug-friends: giving a parent an opportunity to have fun performing the various voices.
