Loading... The Magic Finger (1966)by Roald Dahl
None. More Dahl to amuse and distract - I love the warped flip-flop that Dahl does in this book. Is his moral really really overstated? Yes... but it's hilarious and absurd to make a point. This book was written back in 1966. In his typically offbeat way, Roald Dahl tackles an important issue that is still controversial and in the news today. A great book about a young girl who has special magic powers and cannot control them, but uses them for the good of the environment. Teaches moral is in a very subtle way, good story/chapter book to read with older kids (3-4th grade) who will understand the lesson behind the story. I love Roald Dahl but this book wasn't a favorite. It's content is a bit detailed for the younger readers. It is about a girl who has the power to punish people who make her mad and it's called "the magic finger." She doesn't have control over what it does or when it happens. It could potentially be used to compliment exploration of fantasy in second or third grade. no reviews | add a review

So, anyway. It was cute - well done. It's my second Roald Dahl and I will read more and I will recommend them. I did like The Witches a lot more though. (
