The giant peach submitted by liqian on August 30, 2018, 9:19pm how did they eat the whole peach????

highly recommend submitted by meghantpowell on August 31, 2018, 11:47pm The first chapter book I reread as a kid because it was so good.

Ronald Dahl oroginal submitted by purchasingqueen on June 14, 2020, 11:15pm This fantasy story about a boy's adventures, with some special insect friends, travelling on a giant peach is a classic Roald Dahl tale. Some words are 'British English' so may not be familiar (Dahl was British). If you read the book aloud, it's fun to do the different character's voices. As with all Dahl books, I highly recommend.

Good submitted by Harlowamy on August 29, 2020, 12:45pm A very good story,though not one of his best,in my opinion.

Interesting submitted by IWasIAm on June 2, 2021, 12:20pm I thought it was cool how the insects grew with the peach.

Sad, delightful book submitted by timdufresne on June 15, 2022, 9:22am Like many Dahl books this book blends with whimsical with the sad artfully in a way that's special and unique.
