No. 5 Esio Trot

Mr. Hoppy is in love with his neighbor, Mrs. Silver, but she is in love with someone else- Alfie, her pet tortoise. With all her attention focused on Alfie, Mrs. Silver doesn't even know Mr. Hoppy is alive. And Mr. Hoppy is too shy to even ask Mrs. Silver over for tea. (from back cover)

I read a book, 'Esio Trot.' This book has also pretty pictures. They are illustrated by Quentin Blake. This story is easy to read and interesting! Main character is Mr. Hoppy. He loves Mrs. Silver. But she loves her pet, tortoise. She don't attention to Mr. Hoppy. And she want her pet to be bigger. One day, he comes up with a very good idea. That is to replaced her pet with bigger tortoise. I think this idea is funny. His idea works well. In the end, Mr. Hoppy can marry Mrs Silver.
