Reading Wk 11

This week for reading we had to visualize texts, we did this by reading a text I chose to read James and the giant peach, James and the giant peach is about a boy who dreams about running away from his horrible aunts. I read a part of the text that said : 

For suddenly, just behind him, James heard a rustling of leaves, and he turned around and saw an old man in a crazy dark-green suit emerging from the bushes. He was a very small old man, but he had a huge bald head and a face that was covered all over with bristly black whiskers. He stopped when he was about three yards away, and he stood there leaning on his stick and staring hard at James.

So I decided to create an old man hiding in a bush here is my DLO
