Summary: a book about real magic
Comment: ...>Do you believe in magic? Well, if you read The Magic Finger you will! "The Magic Finger" is about a girl who has a finger that is magic. Whenever she gets mad she can't control her finger. It takes over her body and her finger points at whomever she is mad at. One day her neighbors, the Gregg family, where out hunting for birds, the girls tried to tell them that it is bad to kill birds. The Gregg family just laughed at her. Her magic finger takes over and something strange happens. If you want to know all of the Gregg problems, read the book yourself. Do you believe in magic now? Well, if you don't read the book. If you child has not read a chapter book this is a good beginning. Even if your child has read chapter books they should still read it. This book is a great book. I think all ages can read and enjoy this book...well maybe ages 4 and over. It's 63 pages long and has pictures on almost every page...

Summary: Do you want a magic finger ?
Comment: Although this story is short, but it is interesting and attractive enough.

This story is about a girl who felt angry with the Gregg family - who liked hunting very much. Once the family returned dome with a deer, the girl couldn't control her anger and put her Magic Finger on the family. The next morning, the Gregg family foung that they have wings instead of hands. They were chased away by a wild duck family which had human hands. The Gregg family surivied theirself by building nest, and found food theirself.

This book tells us hunting is not a good activity, if excess hunting, this could distroy the ecosystem and make the world become unbalance. So I think parents should read this book to their children and explain the meaning to them.

After read this book, I was wondering what would the world be like if I had a Magic Finger. I think I would turn those bad people into bugs so that they can't do bad things anymore. So do you want a magic finger ?

Summary: Master Storyteller!
Comment: Roald Dahl knows how children think. He knows that children's fantasies are often playfully violent, and he taps into those fantasies to create this other world where anything can happen and usually does. Kids love his books, and this is a great place to jump into his weird world. Your kids will love it. Before long they'll be reading it to themselves.
