i liked the part where james had the idea to hook the gulls to the peach with silk

it was amazing when the little green man came out of the heges

it thought it was funny when the centipede made fun of the cloud men
it was so funny when the english ship saw the peach and thought it was a super weapon and the officers thought he was crazy

it was unexepected when the peach appeard on the peach tree that never had a peach

I like the book James And The Giant Peach, why I like it is when the Cloud Men throgh the hail. I also when James took a bite of the peach and said it was delicous. I thought it was funny when the centipede said all the food he had tasted.

I think so far it's a really cool book.My favrote part was when the centipedetold us all the good things he likes, and we thought that was gross.I think anut spounge and anut spiker are funny because one is big and the other is really skinny.I did not like the part when the rino escaped from the cage and killed james's parent.

I liked it because it was funny when they got flung around in the peach.And when the guys from the clouds threw hail at them.And when the cricket ate all that wierd stuff.

I think that this story is funny, because when the cloud men take a piece of the clouds and makes a hailstone and starts a war, I think that's pretty funny.

What I think is that one part of the book is disgusting!! Not a little disgusting, but allot. So lets get to the disgusting part, that part is when the centipede tells his meal in a song.

What I do not like about the book is that some language in his story's is not so good for children. Also when he/she gets older, you don't want a husband/wife who uses bad language. Do you?

I love this book because its very very very funny!!!!!!I like when they use the earth worm to catch pelicans to fly the boat out of the water.

I also like the cloud people when they tryed to attack the giant peach,and when they staired at was realy funny to.

I think Rould Daul had put a lot of emagination uinto this book and the fact that it feels like your in it is also really amizing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the fact that it feels like he just throughs anything into the book that pops up in his head then makes a good book out of it!!!!!!!!!!!!<3

I liked the book becuase I tought it was nice when the silkworm and the grasshopper saved the centipied.I also liked this book because they where clever when they spun seagulls to the top of the peach to make it fly.The best part was when James saved everyone by telling them to go down stairs.

I think that the book so far is funny. It is funny to me beacause the centepied told all of his favoite things to eat.It was gross but mostly funny. The book also has adventrue.James was very brave helping his new friends like that.The book also said friendship to me beacause James was a very good friend to his new friends in the peach.
