Reading comprehension packet and answer key for: The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl

Summary: The Magic Finger is a funny story about a little girl who can cast spells with her magic finger when people make her angry. In this novel, she directs her magic finger towards her neighbors, who are hunters. The magic finger works wonders when it comes to convincing the neighbors that hunting is not kind!

Reading level: 3rd grade.

Themes: magic, hunting, animals, humor

Audience: This book is good for early readers who are just getting into chapter books. The type is big and there are a lot of pictures and the story is very short, so it could be fun for students younger than 3rd grade (if they have reasonably good reading skills). This book is a great intro to Roald Dahl and his interesting, while off-beat, sense of humor.
