Una historia de Roald Dahl, el gran autor de la literatura infantil El dedo mágico es la historia de una niña de ocho años con un poder muy especial: cada vez que se enfada, su dedo lanza castigos sorprendentes... transforma a las personas en animales. Aunque los Gregg son sus amigos, a ella no le gusta nada que sean cazadores. Así que un día, apunta con su dedo a los Gregg y ¡los transforma en pájaros! ¿Cómo será vivir en las ramas de los árboles? Ilustrado por Quentin Blake ENGLISH DESCRIPTION What happens when the hunter becomes the hunted? To the Gregg family, hunting is just plain fun. To the girl who lives next door, it's just plain horrible. She tries to be polite. She tries to talk them out of it, but the Greggs only laugh at her. Then one day the Greggs go too far, and the little girl turns her Magic Finger on them. When she's very, very angry, the little girl's Magic Finger takes over. She really can’t control it, and now it's turned the Greggs into birds! Before they know it, the Greggs are living in a nest, and that's just the beginning of their problems…
Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory is opening at last! But only five lucky children will be allowed inside. And the winners are: Augustus Gloop, an enormously fat boy whose hobby is eating; Veruca Salt, a spoiled-rotten brat whose parents are wrapped around her little finger; Violet Beauregarde, a dim-witted gum-chewer with the fastest jaws around; Mike Teavee, a toy pistol-toting gangster-in-training who is obsessed with television; and Charlie Bucket, Our Hero, a boy who is honest and kind, brave and true, and good and ready for the wildest time of his life!
Bloemlezing van verhalen rond Kerstmis van Nederlandse schrijvers.
Bundel met negentien kerstverhalen van Nederlandse en Vlaamse auteurs.
Vierendertig zeer korte verhalen en twee gedichten, bedoeld om de lezer een hart onder de riem te steken. De samenstellers combineren Jos Brink met Marga Minco en Mien van 't Sant met Marjan Berk of zoals de flaptekst zegt 'bekende en geliefde' Nederlandse hedendaagse auteurs. Het resultaat is een allegaartje waar geen lezerskring voor te definiren valt. Dat mensen door lezing van deze bundel met moeilijke momenten verzoend raken, zoals de flaptekst suggereert, lijkt me onwaarschijnlijk, juist omdat zoveel goede bedoelingen bij elkaar wat te veel van het goede is. Het woord - Blij - staat met grote veelkleurige metallicletters op de omslag; normale druk.(Biblion recensie, Tonnie Haarsma.)
