Good
I thought it was a great book because I like stories that things happen over and over again like Mrs silver kept going to work and then her tortoise got bigger
What an elaborate lie Mr Hoppy plotted out! I was very surprised to read that it worked out for him in the end. Poor Alfie, he just needed time to grow.
It was a good book would recommend it to friends - some difficult words but mostly okay. I enjoyed it.
It’s about Mr Hoppy and Mrs Silver and Alfie they are neighbours. And the tortoise-catcher?
Mr.Hoppy loves the lady in the balcony below but she adores her tortoise. He must hatch a plan to become the object of her love.
This book was great because it was very creative and funny. The main characters were Mrs Silver , Mr Hoppy and Mrs Silver’s tortoise Alfie.
it was short but ok 3/5
Hilarious ??
Fun.short story from Roald Dahl about a man, tortoises ? and a funny plan.
The story about a man called Mr Hoppy and his neighbour, a lady called Mrs Silver and Mrs Silver's special tortoise called Alfie. I liked the descriptions that are used in the book because he made the characters come to life and it felt like I knew them. I really liked Alfie the toroise.

I would recommend this book for children between the ages of 6 plus but would suit anybody who likes stories about animals and friendship.
