Roald Dahl's Esio Trot in glorious full colour!

High up in a tall building lives Mr Hoppy all alone.

Downstairs lives Mrs Silver. Mr Hoppy loves her. And Mrs Silver loves her tortoise, Alfie. Oh, if only Mr Hoppy could perform some great feat that would make him a hero in her eyes! Then one day his mind goes click and an amazing idea rushes into his head.

With the help of a magical spell, some cabbage leaves and one hundred and forty tortoises, can shy Mr Hoppy win Mrs Silver's heart?

And now you can listen to ESIO TROT ( with THE GIRAFFE AND THE PELLY AND ME) and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios!

And look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits.

Reviews

Morris Gleitzman has a rare gift for writing very funny stories and wrapping very serious stories inside them.

—— Guardian

Sophy's books are in their simplest form an utter delight. They should be on the bookshelves of every family everywhere. Pom Pom is part of my children's childhood now and Pass It On is in our minds a gentle masterpiece. She has an immense talent with beautiful and original ideas. Lucky children.

—— Angels & Urchins Magazine

This is a beautifully illustrated story of self-belief, perfect for encouraging little ones to try new things.

—— Scottish Book Trust

Henn invests a flat graphic design style with emotion and cuteness.

—— The Sunday Times

A gorgeous picture book that is perfect for sharing this spring.

—— The Sun

Charlie is a feisty, funny girl who will appeal to pony-mad readers who'll devour all the inside knowledge of the equine world that Balding brings to her debut
