What a lovely lesson to teach young children! When disaster strikes, it’s the little snail, despite her size and feelings of inferiority, who uses her ingenuity to save the day and get them both safely home. A tiny snail with ‘itchy feet’ hitches a ride on the tail of a ‘great big, grey-blue humpback whale’ and sets off on a fabulous adventure around the world. There is so much to love about The Snail and the Whale, it’s hard to know where to begin. I can’t imagine any toddler not being totally captivated by every one of her books.
Just how does she do it? Time after time, she comes up with the sweetest stories and characters and then, as if that isn’t hard enough, she transforms them into fun, catchy rhymes. I am totally in awe of Julia Donaldson and her amazing talent.
