James and the Giant Peach was Roald Dahl’s first attempt at writing a story for children - and is now one of his most popular! James lives with his two awful aunts and doesn’t feel like he has a single friend in the whole wide world – until one day something peculiar happens. A peach at the end of the garden starts to grow and grow and GROW. Inside that peach are seven unusual “friends”, all waiting to take James on the most magical adventure!

Three Ways to Develop Critical Thinking Skills
Building Vocabulary:
When kids learn and use more words, they can talk better and understand others better too. Having a bigger vocabulary helps them be more clear in what they say, which can help them express their thoughts and ideas better. However, children must encounter a new word 4 to 12 times before it is added to their vocabulary. That’s why Reading Quests has created these free printables to help your kids with repetition, recall, and memorization.
Our family’s favorite word from James and the Giant Peach was “flabbergasted”. We’re not sure why but we all found this word had us all in stitches. When we all took turns using this word, we couldn’t finish our sentences without bursting out in laughter!!
