Summary
How I long to sail！ said the tiny snail。 One little snail longs to see the world and hitches a lift on the tail of an enormous whale。 Together they go on an amazing journey， past icebergs and volcanoes， sharks and penguins， and the little snail feels so small in the vastness of the world。 But when disaster strikes and the whale is beached in a bay， it's the tiny snail's big plan that saves the day。 The Snail and the Whale is a delightful tale of adventure and friendship by the unparalleled picture-book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler， creators of The Gruffalo。 This edition features the classic story with a stunning， redesigned cover and beautiful finish， making it a must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson and Scheffler fans - big and small！ Also available with redesigned covers are The Gruffalo， The Gruffalo's Child， Room on the Broom， The Smartest Giant in Town， Monkey Puzzle， Charlie Cook's Favourite Book， and A Squash and a Squeeze。

The strange yet amusing tale of friendship between one of the smallest creatures （the snail） and one of the largest creatures （the humpback whale）。 The whale takes an adventure-hunting snail on the trip of a lifetime across the ocean showing the snail all sorts of wonders。 However， when the whale is beached， its up to the snail to try and save the day！

Really nice story about a snail that wants to sail around the world with a whale。My 2 year old made me read it 3 times the first day we got it。 The artwork is really nice as well which helps to keep your kid engaged in the story。

I think what really stand out to readers in this book is the illustrations， they very much catch your attention。 This book is about a snail and whale who go on an adventure through the ocean。 This book is about the two odd friends’ friendships。 I would recommend this book to teachers， so that their students can see that anyone can be friends and go on fun adventures。

Do not afraid to catch your dream that's the lesson that I can get from this picture book。 People will stand between your dream and you will be facing many obstacles but don't you give up and go pursue your dream。 Do not afraid to catch your dream that's the lesson that I can get from this picture book。 People will stand between your dream and you will be facing many obstacles but don't you give up and go pursue your dream。 。。。more

A humpback whale gives a snail a tour of the world， but it’s the brave snail who saves the day in the end。

（1 and 10 months） This is a wonderful book， which helped us imagine travelling around the world。 The snail had an exciting adventure in this heart-warming story with beautiful illustrations。 It doesn't matter how big you are。。。 you can still do lots of exciting and important things （especially with the help of friends）！ （1 and 10 months） This is a wonderful book， which helped us imagine travelling around the world。 The snail had an exciting adventure in this heart-warming story with beautiful illustrations。 It doesn't matter how big you are。。。 you can still do lots of exciting and important things （especially with the help of friends）！ 。。。more

A sweet story that I have found the children really engage with。 The snail being able to break away from his friends and follow his dreams even if it means going on his own or with a new friend is subtle and inspiring

Cute rhyming story of how the snail and the whale help each other。 Kind of like the Lion and the Mouse。 Very nice and colorful illustrations。

This book is absolutely adorable。 I love it as much as my boys do！ Will definitely look for other books by this author。

I really enjoyed this book。 I appreciated the rhythmic rhymes that flowed so well and were very expressive。 I also really enjoyed the equally expressive illustrations， that like the text were quite clever and well-captured the story and feelings of the book。

I have ony read this version that helps kids who are learning to read， not the full version， but I thought it was a good story。 It rhymed well。 It was full of adventure and excitement to keep the young reader entertained。 A good choice for those learning to read by themselves。
