I find this story of middle-aged love delightful. It's also the first chapter book that my oldest, now 13, read all the way through. He read it aloud to me when he was in kindergarten, and we both adored it.Reread 2018: Since the first time I read this (or had it read to me) I've seen a ton of reviews bashing it and how sexist it is. I really don't think so. First we have to consider that it's old, second we have to consider the ending. Mr. Hoppy is over the moon that Mrs. Silver says she willBloody 'ell! I dunno what happened here. Roald Dahl, one of the most imaginative children's writers ever has lost the plot here. He had an idea of a story and it feels like he couldn't figure how to get the story out of his head. Esio Trot is very brief, it shows you how to manipulate a daft woman and it ends very flat.My daughter and I found it dull and was glad when it was over and we could move onto something else. If you are a Roald Dahl fan then avoid this one because you'll only be
I don't know what to say, really.
While 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!
❤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
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
