Esio Trot, its Tortoise spelt backwardsAnother of my favourite Dahl stories as a kid as Mr Hoppy a shy old man develops a bonkers scheme to impress hes neighbour Mrs. Silver. She just wants her little tortoise to grow slightly larger.The mad brain scheme sees Mr Hoppy buys as many tortoises as possible and slowly lowers the next size down each day after convincing Mrs. Silver that he knows a magic rhythm that will help the little fella grow.Its such a fun quick read, the illustrations of MrWhile I did enjoy this story for the most part, I cant help but notice how problematic parts of it are now that Im older. I remember reading it when I was younger and I adored it but I definitely didnt have a full grasp of it like I did reading it again as an adult. Reading it now it kind of just gives me an unpleasant feeling, and I really dont think its something Id read to my kids. It just gives the wrong sort of message in so many ways!
Tortoise, Tortoise get bigger, bigger. Come on Tortoise grow up, puff up, shoot up! Spring up, Blow up swell up! Gorge! Guzzle! Stuff! Gulp! Put on fat, Tortoise, Put on fat! get on, Get on! Gobble food!! In this short, cute and imaginative love story, we meet a man of questionable morals who deceives a pretty widow to gain her love, by making her believe he can shrink and enlarge her pet tortoise at his will. Very funny idea and illustrations, I wonder what passed in Dahl's crazy head when he
❤A short story about love, when Mr. Hoppy is in love with Mrs. Silver and too shy to tell her, noticing her heart belongs to Alfie, her pet tortoise, he mastered a small plan to win her heart by faking a magic spell that will help the tortoise grow up.How will that goes?It's a very heartwarming short story that I enjoyed listening to a lot.فيديو المراجعة:https://youtu.be/__gxVThs3R4?t=245
A delightful story by Dahl I have never read, but heard much about over the past few months. Magically penned and thoroughly interesting for readers of all ages. Mr. Hoppy has long had his eye on his neighbour, Mrs. Silver. While it is an innocent admiration, Mr. Hoppy soon learns that Mrs. Silver's only love is directed towards her tortoise, Alfie. This tortoise seems to possess a weight-related issue that Mrs. Silver has said plagues her. Might solving it be the way into her heart? After
Okay, so I read this as a sort of long distance buddy read with my seven year old niece. Weve both got a boxset of Roald Dahl books. Mainly because she fell in love with mine while we read a couple of them together when she came to visit last year, so her mum got her a set too. She absolutely loves books and reading. Anyway, we decided to start our long distance buddy read with Esio Trot. We both read the book in our own homes, then as soon as we finished it, Daisy rung me to discuss the book.
A curious love story. Mr. Hoppy and Mrs. Silver live in apartments on top of one another and they see each other around their balcony. Mr. Hoppy is shy and doesn't really talk to her unless it's about her turtle. He even comes up with magic words which the title is part of tortoise spelled backwards that he gives Mrs. Silver to help the turtle grow bigger. The story feels a little deceitful and it's also simply fun and I find myself enjoying the silly antics of Mr. Hoppy. It's a short little
