Longing to see the world, a tiny sea snail hitches a lift on the tail of a great big, grey-blue humpback whale. Together, they go on an amazing journey past icebergs and volcanoes, sharks and penguins! 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 incomparable pairing of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler makes 'The Snail and the Whale' a heart-warming tale of friendship that little ones will love to read again and again.
