The Snail and the Whale
Recommended for ocean month — a tiny snail hitching a ride across the sea.
By Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, the pair behind The Gruffalo. A tiny sea snail with an itchy foot hitches a ride on the tail of a great whale and sails the world — past icebergs, volcanoes and golden sands — until the whale is beached and it's the smallest creature of all who saves the day. Told in Donaldson's rolling rhyme.
