reading (Esio Trot)

I read "Esio Trot" while in the waiting room a few weeks ago, while [livejournal.com profile] derien was in surgery.

The plot of this Dahl offering left me wanting. The moral of the story isn't one I feel should be endorsed, let along to young readers. On the other side, the Quentin Blake drawings in this book are fun and appropriate as usual. I like the tortoise expressions.

49. Roald Dahl "Esio Trot"
