I'm really growing to enjoy Julia Donaldson's books. The rhymes engage the kiddos and the message of working together to keep the environment safe (without being preachy) is excellent. ( )

This one is probably my kids' favourite one of the beloved Donaldson-Scheffler collection. ( )

Interesting story and nice art. ( )

A charming tale of a snail that hitches a ride on a humpback whale, and gets a round-the-world tour of natural wonders. Toward the end of the tale, the whale gets beached, and the snail helps rescue the whale by calling in the local community to help. Told as a poem-story that is really fun to read aloud. ( )

Tiny Sea Snail has big dreams: she wants to see the wide, wide world. So she hitches a ride on the tail of a friendly humpback whale. Together they see icebergs and volcanoes, storms and sharks. But when the whale gets too close to the shore, will the tiny snail be able to save her friend?

Told in rhyme and beautifully illustrated, young readers are sure to enjoy this story of friendship. And seeing everyone come together to save the whale is sure to bring a smile to their faces.
