ALA Face Book posted that James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl was 50 years old on September 13. They've shared wonderful illustrations from various blogging artists.
Best of all they posted the link to Penguins page of delightful activities.
In GALILEO you can get to two resources that have information about Roald Dahl and James and the Giant Peach. NoveList K-8 offers a few curricular articles. There is a link to the public World Cat where you can see which library close to you has the book on the shelf!
GALILEO also provides access to Literature Resource Center (GALE) (remember they have an app). There are three mp3 files which you can download. Be aware, the interview with Roald Dahl's granddaughter is a (mechanical) audio reading of the transcripts of the NPR radio programs. That is a little disconcerting. You can go to Weekend Edition and listen to the original radio show. I wonder why Gale didn't link to the NPR site?
Celebrate the longevity of children's literature by reading James and the Giant Peach!
