What this book is about
Mr. Hoppy is in love with his downstairs neighbor Mrs. Silver, who is devoted to her tortoise Alfie. When Mrs. Silver wishes Alfie would grow larger, Mr. Hoppy devises an elaborate, tender plan involving a hundred tortoises and a magic spell. Dahl's short children's book is sweet, funny, and entirely charming.
