| Professional Review: |
| One tiny snail longs to see the world and hitches a lift on the tail of a whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, past icebergs and volcanoes, sharks and penguins, and 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 who saves the day. |

Written on February 8, 2008 Summary: Cute and Funny and Happy My youngest grandson loved this book. Very well written with exciting parts for young children and a good story line. 5 star rating well deserved. Written on February 7, 2008 Summary: Lovely story! We have several books by Julia Donaldson. Mostly they have been translated into Hebrew as we live in Israel and my kids are bilingual. But The Snail and the Whale is one of the few we have in English....and I'm so happy that we do! I love this story. I've read it to my kids so many times, I think I could recite it verbatim from start to finish - yet we never tire of it. Ms Donaldson has such a magical way with words that truly engages the kids and yet there's always a message in her books without ever sounding even remotely preachy. And true to form, the tiny snail in this story teaches us a great big lesson about bravery, self-worth and friendship. Written on January 14, 2008 Summary: One of the best children's books. My children and I love this book. All Julia Donaldson's stuff is great. This book and "Room on the broom" are not to miss. Great rhymes, beautiful pictures, kind-hearted story, "The whale and the snale" has it all. Written on January 10, 2008 Summary: Probably my favorite children's book- ever! I grew up with Dr. Seuss, Where the Wild Things Are, the Mr. Men, and Goodnight Moon. But when I picked up this gem at a gift shop in Pitlochry, Scotland, last summer, I immediately fell in love with the stunning drawings and moving story, told in impeccable rhyme and meter. I love that it shows children that there is a world beyond their own, where strange and wonderful creatures live. My son will be two next month, and this has been one of his favorite books for several months now. He'll ask for it several times a day, and, unlike all of his other books, I never tire of reading it to him. I hope Donaldsons other books are as good, because my son will be receiving several of them for his birthday! Written on November 24, 2007 Summary: gorgeous, whimsical, lyrical and fun Utterly and completely enjoyable. I have been a big fan of Julia Donaldson since finding Room on the Broom. This one doesn't disappoint. It is the story of a Snail who decides that it wants to see the world, and the whale which picks it up - and where they travel too. Beautiful meter in the lines, as with all Donaldson's books, but in this there is definitely something whimsical in the words - it is so beautifully written, but with great good humour. The illustrations are amazing (as with all Shaeffers (sp??) work. I liked the little touches to the pictures, the boat next to the Snail in the first picture is the Spirit of Glasgow, which is Donaldson's hometown. Very fun and nice book which my children really enjoy too. |
