The Snail and the Whale

… Here is a rock
Where a snail lived above the sea
And sighed again and again:
– How I’m tired of it all!
The world is huge, and here I sit on a rock,
When I could sail away on a big ship…
…Or… Or maybe on the tail of a giant blue whale?! The world is so wide, and the snail so small – who would have thought that a tiny snail would save her big friend when he got into trouble?

The very latest rhyming story from the authors of the international bestsellers "The Gruffalo" and "The Gruffalo’s Child", with big, full-page, colourful pictures.

 Winner of the BBC "Blue Peter Award" as the best illustrated book for reading aloud in 2005.
