I enjoyed Esio Trot because when Mrs Silver was at work Mr hoppy would get one of his tortoises and swap it for another tortoise. It was really funny.
I liked that he had over a hundred tortoises and that the title is tortoise spelt backwards
Mr Hoppy was sneaky but I think that was because he loved Mrs Silver. I liked the secret code. It was backwards! I thought the book was funny. I like turtles and I would recommend this book to my friends.
I thought it was clever to buy different sized tortoises for Mrs Silver
I found this book funny because Mr Hoppy brought hundreds of tortoises and kept swapping them just to make Mrs Silver like him and believe what he was saying.
It was quite funny but not very interesting
This book was fiction. My favourite person was Mrs Silver because she is a animal lover just like me. I would recommend this book to someone who is very shy.
Really enjoyed this - watched the film too!
I liked this story and my favourite character is Alfie. The book was really good.
Loved this
I really loved that it was set on an animal and the animals were the main characters. The story between Mr Hoppy and Miss Silver was very good and funny. A lovely story with a happy ending. However I would love it to of been longer, I got through it very quickly.
This book is about a man who wants to marry a women and that women has a small pet tortoise called Alfie. The man is jealous of Alfie and then the man writes the women a note.
This book has a moral that all your dreams will come true.
I would recommend this book.
I thought it was quite an adventure but I was very disappointed when Mr Hoppy got exactly what he wanted . He didn't deserve it and he was very smart about it too
I love the tortoises
It was good
It's really funny and I'd really like to be Alfie because he's the tortoise
This book is about live and switching turtles! Classic Roald Dahl!
I liked this book. I like the fact it is about having a tortoise as a pet
I love the tortoises and the way Mr Hoppy losers them onto the balcony
I enjoyed this book as I also have a pet tortoise and found it interesting to read
it was a good book in general with a message to tell us to do kind deeds.
Amazing, I love this book! I would give this book 10 stars!
This wasn’t my favourite book from the Roald Dahl box set but it was the shortest
Mr Hoppy has a very clever plan. I greatly recommend this book to people who have a sense of humour
There are some funny parts in the book like when the Alfie couldn't fit inside his house. The secret poem wasn't fun because it was hard to read.
Really good book.
I like it when the man gets all the tortoises and gives them all lettuce .
And Alfie the little tortoise doesn’t eat as much as the others so he always stays small .
I liked what the tortoise’s ate!
I like the way the title is clever.
My favourite people were Mrs silver and Alfie her tortoise. it made me laugh .
