Book Reviews of The Snail and the Whale
Book Review: Another great book from Julia Donaldson/Axel Scheffler
Summary: 5 Stars
We have almost all of the books from this author/illustrator team and they are an amazing talent. Every book they come out with is sooo clever and beautifully illustrated. This one is no exception. It is a great rhyming "read-aloud" and the moral of the story is not lost on the reader. My 18 month old son has not grown tired of having this read to him on a daily basis...and I have not grown tired of reading it to him.Book Review: great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, and others by Julia Donaldson are wonderful read aloud books. My grandson (4 years old) loves the way the author has fun with words and the story. The illustrator, Axel Scheffler, creates beautiful scenes with little creatures and interesting details that encourage kids to find new things on each page with every reading. Other books we enjoy include "Gruffalo", "Grufalo's Child", and "Room on the Broom".Book Review: Very sweet story
Summary: 5 Stars
We love her books so we were excited to get this over the holidays. This book is not silly like some of her other works but it is heart warming and lovely. Two unlikely friends, a snail and a huge whale explore the seas and the snail gets to prove that even someone small can do something big. I highly recommend this book for both the sweet rhyming story and beautiful illustrations.Book Review: Beautiful and so very sweet
Summary: 5 Stars
I read 3 books every night to my almost-4 year old daughter (I love to read and share this love with her) and this is one of our very favorites. It is beautifully written, marvelously illustrated and just so very sweet. My husband loves to read it too. A book for children that makes even parents dream about travelling adventures on the back of the whale! Most highly recommended.Book Review: Great story!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my son and we both loved it. The story is interesting and touching with an ending that shows how even the smallest creature can make a big difference. The illustrations are great as well. Overall, this is a wonderful story for kids of all ages and I highly recommend it!
