Great so many tortoises. And love the challenge of reading backwards
This is a fiction book. This story is about an old man and a woman who had a tortoise. The old bought lots of different tortoises until they got bigger and bigger. Then he swapped the lady's tortoise every week with a higher one.
I would ask my friends to read this book because you will find out about all the tortoises.
My favourite character was the tortoise because he was very cute and mysterious . The book was a fun read but they coukd have a little bit more to it
The moment I finished this story, I was moved to tears! I thought this was the sweetest story I have ever read. It was a really moving love story that involved a cute tortoise bringing together two neighbours in the funniest way possible!
