Book reviews for children, by children. Esio Trot – Roald Dahl.

REVIEWER: Roman, aged 9

 Esio Trot– by Roald Dahl

This book is about tortoise and a man called Mr Hoppy. Mr Hoppy is in love with the tortoise’s owner, the lovely Mrs Silver. Mrs Silver goes out to work everyday and he swaps her tortoise, called Alfie, for a bigger tortoise. He does this becasue he had told her that if she read a script to Alfie everyday, he would get bigger. All he wanted was for Mrs Silver to love him.

I liked this book and the illustrations, also tortoises are my favourite animal. I liked the bit when the fatter tortoise could not fit into Alfie’s hut.

I would recommend this book to children aged 8 plus.
