When A Snail Saves The Day?

I read the book ‘The Snail and the Whale’ which was written by Julia Donaldson, with illustrations by Axel Scheffler.

It’s a lovely story about a grey blue hump back whale who takes a tiny snail around the world on his tail.

But when the whale gets into difficulties and gets beached onto the shore, the tiny snail must get help.

Although it’s hard when you’re tiny he leaves a snail trail which leads to their rescue and a happy ending.

In my view a great book for children to understand in just simple terms what happens to whales if they come too close to the shore and what we can do to help.

It’s definitely worth reading.

My final thoughts on this book are that it’s a lovely book to read to young children, slightly sad with a happy ending.

Read it now and tell me what you think?
