I really enjoyed this book. I like how Roald Dahl uses vocabulary to set the scene and create characters. The book is about Alfie the tortoise and its owner Mrs Silver and her neighbour Mr Hoppy. Mr Hoppy tricks Mrs Silver using backward writing. This is fun to read. He swaps Alfie to make it look like he has grown. It is a fun and lovely story. I also love Quentin Blake’s drawings. He gets the characters expressions with only a few pencil lines.
