Esio Trot
by Roald Dahl
Wow. I definitely have some issues with the main plot of this book. I read it aloud to my 4 year old, never having read it myself. But rather than throw it out the window when I saw where the plot was going, we just had an active discussion about it as we went along. "Do you think it was nice of Mr. Hoppy to take Mrs. Silver's turtle without asking?" etc. ...I guess I'm a little less disturbed by the resolution because apparently Mrs. Silver was just waiting and wishing Mr. Hoppy would propose for some time. Anyway, it's not the best story to share with kids but it can also be a learning opportunity - not every book character is a role model and something can be learned even from the bad ones.
