Author : Julia DonaldsonBinding : PaperbackEAN : 9780333982242Edition : New EdISBN : 033398224XLabel : Macmillan Children's BooksManufacturer : Macmillan Children's BooksNumber of pages : 32Publication date : 2004-09-03Publisher : Macmillan Children's BooksTitle : The Snail and the WhaleStudio : Macmillan Children's Books This was an instant hit with my toddler, who was entranced by the rhymes and learned the word snail within a single read. I found myself quite moved when reading it too, especially when the snail feels small in the big beautiful world.
My 2 year old son adores The Snail and the Whale as well as the Room on the Broom. We read them nearly every night. They are also fun to read as an adult compared to many other children's books that drive you potty after the 10th time!
This is a wonderful story with lovely illustrations which my son has enjoyed from age 1. He repeats the words and loves looking at the pictures and talking about all the things going on and naming all the animals etc. It's an uplifting story with a world view which makes the point that everyone has a place in the world, no matter how small.
My son and I read this book every day. Actually, that's a lie - I have read it so many times I actually know it off by heart so I recite it to him every day!! Dylan and I both choose this as our favourite (children's) book. We love it.
Fantastic Book, my 3 year old loves the rhyming and i enjoy reading this to him. The illustrations are lovely.
