About the Book

Esio Trot by Roald Dahl is a wonderfully funny and heartwarming children's story filled with gentle romance, clever deception, and the unmistakable humour that has made Dahl a favourite among generations of young readers.

The story centres on Mr. Hoppy, a shy and kind-hearted man who lives in an apartment and secretly loves his neighbour, Mrs. Silver. Mrs. Silver is devoted to her pet tortoise, Alfie, but she wishes he would grow bigger. Seeing an opportunity to win her affection, Mr. Hoppy comes up with an elaborate and rather amusing plan involving tortoises, secret instructions, and a little bit of trickery.

As Mr. Hoppy's plan unfolds, readers are drawn into a playful story about friendship, affection, and the lengths someone might go to for the person they love. Dahl's simple storytelling, comic situations, and imaginative plot make Esio Trot an enjoyable read for children while retaining the warmth and wit appreciated by adult readers.

The book is particularly appealing to young readers who enjoy animal stories, humorous adventures, and characters with wonderfully unusual personalities. It is a short, accessible Roald Dahl story that works well for independent reading as well as shared family reading.
