James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I recently re-read and re-enjoyed this. My mind's pictures will always be based on the Nancy Eckholm Burkert illustrations. Her realistic style is a great balance for the fantastical events. Lane Smith's wacky style for the movie tie-in editions seems redundant. The story is unconventional on its own, you don't need to be "told" that by the pictures.
