If you are not a Roald Dahl fan, then I can’t help you. 

These stories are so good!! 
Mr. and Mrs. Twits are horrible people! But they are worse to each other.
Little Billy ventures into the woods and meets the minpins, who he decides to help fight off their greatest nemesis.
By the power of a magic finger of a little girl, the Gregg family is turned into a family of birds.

These stories all have a little lesson behind them. Take heed on how you treat others. They can either help you or hinder you in return.

“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

I want to frame this particular quote and put it on my wall. Aside from that, the book was just ok.

Could be called "Roald Dahl's Bird Stories"

Roald Dahl doesn't have girls as protagonists very often, but in my experience, when he does, the little girl always has magical powers. I love that.
