📕If you were wondering... Esio trot is just 'TORT-OISE' spelt backwards. 🐢
📖The book narrates the story of Mr Hoppy and his secret love - his neighbour Mrs Silver who was a widow. But her one love was her pet turtle Alfie. So when Mrs Silver tells him how much she really wished that Alfie would grow, a plan flourished in his brain. A plan that will make him a true hero in her eyes.
🔖I know that you are thinking why she wants her turtle to grow that badly. After all it's just a pet. That's because Alfie weighs just 13 ounces.(That's the weight of a grapefruit !)
