Magic Finger | Roald Dahl
12 posts | 65 read | 8 to read
The Gregg family loves hunting, but their eight-year-old neighbor can't stand it. After countless pleas for them to stop are ignored, she has no other choice -- she has to put her magic finger on them. Now the Greggs are a family of birds, and like it or not, they're going to find out how it feels to be on the other end of the gun.

Started the 2nd half of the 24-hour readathon the same way I started the 1st half with some fun Dahl. I liked Revolting Rhymes better though. Finished book #3. @DeweysReadathon #readathon #deweyoct #litsylovereads

This girl is not happy with the Greggs family habit of hunting so when they kill a young deer she puts her magic finger on them, causing some consequences that teach the Greggs to treat the animals better. This is a very nice little story, to be read without problems in just one seating.

Having great fun introducing belle to the world of Roald Dahl , slowly making our way through the collection and tonight was the magic finger. She hates any sort of animal cruelty so did cover her eyes when we learnt of the Greggs shooting habits but was pleased with the lessons learned in the end.
We also loved the added extras about Roald Dahl at the end of the book especially reading his school report! 😍 A lovely bonus

I'd be dangerous if I had a magic finger, just like I'd be a Sith Lord if I could use the force! I needed a break from #TheStand for a hot minute and this was just the thing! What would happen to you if your anger concentrated in your finger to teach others a lesson?

Tanisha_A I remember reading this standing in the library alley! What a read! 7y
