The Snail and the Whale [Donaldson, Julia, Scheffler, Axel] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Snail and the Whale Review: A tiny story with a huge heart 🐌💙 - Julia Donaldson is one of those authors my kids reach for without thinking. We have a whole shelf of books, but somehow her stories always end up in our bedtime stack, and this one might be my favorite of all of them 📚✨ The Snail and the Whale feels small and magical at the same time. The writing is gentle, the rhythm is easy to read out loud, and the message hits me every single time. I’m not even kidding, the ending makes my throat tighten a bit, in the sweetest possible way. Something about that little snail stepping up, even when everything seems impossible, gets me 🐌💙🐋 It’s such a lovely reminder for little ones that being small doesn’t mean you can’t make a big difference. And as a parent, I appreciate a book that leaves both of us feeling something when we close it 💭💛A beautiful story, beautifully told. We’ll be reading this one for years 🌟 Review: Adorable story and illustrations - This is just adorable! Love reading this book to my 4 year old. Now looking for more books from this author/illustrator duo!

Good story
This is a very entertaining story with a good rhyme scheme. My grandson (6 yrs.) wanted it for home because he loved it at school

Good, but other Julia Donaldson books are better
My kids are big Julia Donaldson fans. This story has her signature wit, humor, and rhyming, plus fun, quirky illustrations. It's a cute story, but out of all the Julia Donaldson books we own (The Gruffalo, Where's My Mom?, and Room On The Broom), this was least captivating for my kids. I would recommend those I listed before this one, but still cute! **Video is long because it shows the entire book. Drives me nuts to have to purchase childrens books without a quick view of the whole story to see if they'd actually enjoy it!

Thin, but large book in comparison to other toddler books. My 2 yr old loves it. Fun illustrations, entertaining story.

Il libro è in inglese ed alcuni termini non sono facilissimi per chi non conosce bene la lingua, comunque è davvero ottimo e la storia è bellissima oltre ad avere una morale. Il libro perfetto per chi ha iniziato ad insegnare l'inglese ai bambini e che ora vuole portare il livello ad un gradino più alto.
