James and the Giant Peach - Roald Dahl (CD)
Title: Title: James and the Giant Peach Author: Roald Dahl Genre: Literature and Fiction Juvenile Format: CD, 3 CDs, 5 Hrs. Synopsis: A little magic can take you a long way. When James Henry Trotter accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree, strange things start to happen. The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. Then James discovers a secret entranceway into the fruit, and when he crawls inside, he meets a bunch of marvelous oversized friends -- Old Green-Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, Miss Spider, and more. After years of feeling like an outsider in the house of his despicable Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, James has finally found a place where he belongs. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the exciting adventure begins! Performed by Jeremy Irons. Review: Horn Book Magazine (March 1, 2004) (Intermediate) Irons attacks Dahl's classic tale of a woebegone boy's escape via giant peach with gusto. One can imagine a recording studio filled with exuberant gyrations, outflung arms, wildly disarranged hair, and more than a bit of spittle. Listeners will regret the early demise of the dreadful duo, Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, and their vicious spray of syllables. The inhabitants of the peach, however, more than make up for the aunts' absence: blustery Old-Green-Grasshopper, lugubrious Earthworm, precise Miss Spider, timid Ladybug, and all the rest, plus, of course, James Henry Trotter, an upbeat blend of boy scout, cheerleader, and visionary.
