We enjoyed co-reading with my daughter, this book for all ages.
I wonder if a snail and a whale could really be friends??
The snails are slithery. And they were all over the rock!
They were looking at ships in the sea. I like how the whale was king and took the snail
On his tail. I like how snail and whale rhyme. Show more Show less
Eliza likes the snail and how she saves the whale. She loves to hear this story read aloud each night just before she goes to sleep. Eliza loves how the snail is also in the book Zog and the Flying Doctors. And how it’s slimy trail save the king. Show more Show less
A beautiful story of mate ship and discovering that everyone is unique and wonderful in their own way.
It was a little sad when the whale got stuck but
My favourite bit was when the whale got back into the water.
Love this book it’s one of my favourites. It rhymes and reads well. It has a lovely story about an adventure of a Snail and a Whale around the world and how they both help each other ?
A family favourite with boldly coloured, interesting illustrations of different habitats and creatures accompanying a wonderful story
This is my favourite story so far. The illustrations are very interesting and the Snail was very brave.
This is magic. I like the seagulls and the digger best!
Wonderful story about being small but mighty.
I loved the fun facts at the beginning. They told me that each tale of a humpback whale is unique just like a human finger print!
