This short book will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Esio Trot ("tortoise" backwards) is a love story between a retired bachelor, Mr. Hoppy and Mrs. Silver, a widow who lives in the apartment beneath him. The woman wants her beloved pet tortoise to grow bigger. Mr. Hoppy has a brilliant plan (involving 140 tortoises and an "ancient spell") to make this happen and to win the heart of Mrs. Silver. I love Roald Dahl books!
