I could not stop listening to this reading of James and the Giant Peach by Taika Waititi and friends.  All the readers used such expressive voices for the characters.  I loved when Taika used a water jug for a sound effect of the ocean and when Nick Kroll left the room of his house when the character in the book turned and walked away.  And who knew the Hemsworth brothers could sound like such good old spinster ladies!

Please listen to the first 4 chapters of the reading of James and the Giant Peach and then let's have a book talk about the chapters.

Answer one of these questions...

1.    Can you think of another book that has a main character who is an orphan?  Why do you think orphans make such good main characters?
2.    Did you like when the readers of this book stopped reading and talked to the audience? Explain.
3.    Who is your favourite character so far, and why?
