James and the Giant Peach was Roald Dahl’s first kids’ book and is now one of his most popular. It’s about James, a boy stuck with his mean aunts, who feels all alone—until a giant peach grows in the garden. Inside, he meets seven strange friends who take him on an amazing adventure!

Three Ways to Develop Critical Thinking Skills
Build Vocabulary
When kids learn more words, they can speak and understand others better. A bigger vocabulary helps them share their thoughts and ideas more clearly. But children need to hear or see a new word 4 to 12 times before they remember it. That’s why Reading Quests made these free printables—to help kids practice and remember new words through repetition.
Our family’s favorite word from James and the Giant Peach was “flabbergasted.”
