## Description

"How I long to sail!" said the tiny snail.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. 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.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.

Review: Great product - Beautifully illustrated , excellent quality of the paper , print and cover. A book you’ll love to hold and flip through
Review: Great book and a great story - Ordered a board book, good quality , colorful and vivid paintings. The book tells a cute story in a ryhmed form of a snail having a big dream to roam the world and how with his imagination and a big friend , he is able to go places. The book uses some big words which a 6yr old cant read by herself/himself. But the paintings are colorful and vivid. I loved it and Hopefully , in this mobile age , will spark some imagination in kids as well.
