Summary

Every Saturday morning the Greg family goes off to shoot animals and birds。 But the girl who lives next door hates hunting。
Now it's made her so angry she's PUT THE MAGIC FINGER ON THEM ALL。 And very strange things have begun to happen 。 。 。

And now you can listen to THE MAGIC FINGER (with THE MINPINS) and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios!

Also look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits。

Superb。 Really fresh and quirky。 I read it with my 5 year old, and from the beginning we were going, "this is brilliant, I love it。。。" Superb。 Really fresh and quirky。 I read it with my 5 year old, and from the beginning we were going, "this is brilliant, I love it。。。" 。。。more

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

Ian McHugh

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?"

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

Fun。

This was a short enjoyable read。 Never read it before。 My daughter liked it too。 It was the perfect length for a bedtime story。

4 starsfour stars because I remember nothing about it but it was my favourite thing when I was in year two and my teacher use to read it to us all the time。

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。

Grace Wright

Great for reflection on behaviour for the younger years

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

The shortest book of Ronald Dahl read by us over bedtime。 A girl with magic finger reminding humans to be good and not lose their humanity。 Plot may not be very unique but it’s humorously written。

Silvia Jonoch

Una storia veloce da leggere ma piena di significato。 Una lettura piacevole della buonanotte per grandi e piccini che insegna a vedere le cose in modo diverso。

Jessie Clark

Very cute short story, I have the illustrated version (I'm not sure if there is a non-illustrated or not) which the artwork of reality adds to the charm of the story。 Quentin Blake has a perfect art style to coincide with Dhal's fantastic story-telling。 Very cute short story, I have the illustrated version (I'm not sure if there is a non-illustrated or not) which the artwork of reality adds to the charm of the story。 Quentin Blake has a perfect art style to coincide with Dhal's fantastic story-telling。 。。。more

My daughter and I loved it! Super quick read too。

3。5 stars。 I read this to my 4 & 6 year old girls。 They found parts of it funny, parts scary and parts sad。 My girls were happy that the magic finger stopped people hunting。 When I asked them at the end, they both said that they liked the story。

Eliza

I read this book with my 6 year old daughter, well, actually she read it to me and she managed to read it in 3 days。 We read before bedtime and this was her first “big” book, she was so proud of herself when she finished it。 The story was good, it teaches you not to do to others what you don’t want to be done to you。
