and fictional

(4) ‘James and the Roald Dahl's

Giant Peach’ by James and the
Roald Dahl Giant Peach
captures the
passion of a
child's desire to
experience his
childhood by
spending the
majority of his
time outside.
James Henry
Trotter, who lost
his parents when
he was four years
old, is forced to
leave his beach
house and move
 in with his two
terrifying aunts,
Aunt Sponge and
Aunt Spiker.
They treat him
like a houseboy
and verbally
abuse him on a
regular basis.
But, before long,
something truly
wonderful and
dramatic
happens, when
an elderly man
approaches
James, offering
to help him get
rid of his greedy
aunts and live the
rest of his life
comfortably.
Then a
succession of
strange events
occurs one after
another, and
James sets out on
a voyage with his
new animal
companions, the
centipede, Miss
spider,
earthworm, old-
green
grasshopper,
ladybug,
silkworm, and
glow-worm. They
face numerous
obstacles,
including the
wispy, and the
terrifying cloud-
men. In short, the
enormous peach
makes a story
that is suitable
for young
learners because
it provides not
only amusement
but also
everything that
youngsters would
enjoy.
