Summary
What happens when the hunter becomes the hunted？
To the Gregg family， hunting is just plain fun。 To the girl who lives next door， it's just plain horrible。 She tries to be polite。 She tries to talk them out of it， but the Greggs only laugh at her。 Then one day the Greggs go too far， and the little girl turns her Magic Finger on them。 When she's very， very angry， the little girl's Magic Finger takes over。 She really can’t control it， and now it's turned the Greggs into birds！ Before they know it， the Greggs are living in a nest， and that's just the beginning of their problems…。

A nice short novella with a message about not hunting excessively。 The story centers around a young girl who has a finger that will magically curse anyone who dares to make her see red。

Kolejna opowiastka Dahla dla młodszych czytelników。 Jak zwykle z przesłaniem i humorem。

Review by Jonah （age 4 years and five months）Good。I’ve read it with my mum。 I think the book is about ducks。 Book’s about ducks。 Book’s about ducks。 Review by Jonah’s mumImaginative story which emphasises treating others as we ourselves would like to be treated。 A quick read over two bedtime story sessions。 Captivating illustrations by Quentin Blake as always。

This book was very funny yet very serious。 This book has a sense of moral kindness against hunting animals。

Quick small read along with Janani。 I really enjoyed this short story。 A girl with a magical finger。 When she gets angry; magic shoots out of the finger on whom she points at。 Gregg family loves hunting which the girl totally hates。 What happens to the Gregg family when they brush her off the wrong side？？？？A cute and comical story。 A great message for kids and adults as well。 Loved the way the story was imagined and brought to paper by Roald Dahl。

Super stuff。A short story that rails against hunting and shooting。A little out of context here in Qatar but Flo loved the moral of the story。 "Why would people shoot birds？" Quite。 Super stuff。A short story that rails against hunting and shooting。A little out of context here in Qatar but Flo loved the moral of the story。 "Why would people shoot birds？" Quite。 。。。more

Read with a 2nd grade tutoring student。 Was a quick， easy read。 The message about not harming animals was clearly conveyed through some humor。

a quick little read in a corner of the barnes & noble children’s book section - NOSTALGIA。 also， I don’t think I could be trusted with a magic finger。

I absolutely loved Roald Dahl growing up。 I kept these books as reminders of the beauty， simplicity， and magic in the world。 It was fun to reread this as an adult。 Looking forward to sharing Dahl’s stories with other kids in my life。

A nice short story by Dahl with a good message。 I got this book for free from a cereal box in 2004， but I wouldn't recommend paying alot for it （waterstones charge £7。99 which is a rip off！）， seeing as I read it in 20 minutes。 A nice short story by Dahl with a good message。 I got this book for free from a cereal box in 2004， but I wouldn't recommend paying alot for it （waterstones charge £7。99 which is a rip off！）， seeing as I read it in 20 minutes。 。。。more
