This is such a funny book that mummy read to me. I like how Mrs Silver gets tricked and keeps weighing Alfie on the scales. She doesn't know she's being tricked and that Mr Hoppy loves her so much. When mummy read me this book it made me think about what it would be like to have my own tortoise and I would make it a little house out of tortoise food.

I liked this book because in the end Mr Hoppy married Mrs Silver but he didn't tell her he switched her tortoise. The tortoise was the character in the book because he was loved the most. I would recommend this book to my swimming friend.

I thought it was really funny because I had to read the poem he wrote backwards. My favourite character was Mrs Silver because she was the one that thought the tortoise was magic. I might tell my friends to read this book.

It was about a tortoise named Alfie and a man called Mr Hoppy who was very shy.
