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.

I thought it was good but it was a bit too ducky for me. I would recommend it someone else

The book was really good as it was very funny. My favourite part was when Mr gregg came out of his bed and he was small with wings.

I really liked the ducks and how the egg family got turned into ducks. It told us that it isn't good to shoot things.

I liked the way the girl taught the family a lesson to not kill birds. It made me a bit sad killing wildlife.

It's a really funny. I liked the fact that the person who has the magic finger went running off lookong for the coopers and at the end there was a picture of the coopers

I like the part of the story where whiskers began growing out of teacher's face. I like Gregg's family, especially when they turn to ducks.
