Hootworthy or not?
🦉 Owl Be Reading Review: James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl 📚 Hoot Factor – ⭐⭐⭐ The idea of a giant peach rolling across the land and sailing across the sea was so imaginative, and I loved the talking bugs who joined James on his adventure! Each insect had such a big personality, and it was fun to see how they worked together as an unusual team. Even though I enjoyed the concept, it wasn’t my favourite Roald Dahl book, but it was still a quirky and memorable read. 🎨 Owl-some Illustrations – ⭐⭐⭐ The illustrations added to the charm and brought the magical peach world to life. Seeing the characters on the page really helped me imagine their strange but wonderful journey. 💡 Little Owl’s Takeaway – ⭐⭐⭐ This story showed me that friends can come in all shapes and sizes, even bugs! I also liked how it celebrated adventure, courage, and the idea that even something ordinary (like a peach) can lead to something extraordinary.

Inside that peach are seven very unusual insects - all waiting to take James on a magical adventure. But where will they go in their GIANT PEACH and what will happen to the horrible aunts if they stand in their way? There's only one way to find out . .
