Book Reviews of The Snail and the Whale

Book Review: Brilliant for young minds
Summary: 5 Stars

When I read this book to one of my grandchildren I just had to get it for the others. The usual brilliant illustrations from Alex Scheffler plus the enjoyable and 'easy to join in' style of Julia Donaldson. Will spark an interest in broad horizons from an early age.

Book Review: similar to another (better) book
Summary: 3 Stars

This book is OK but I can't help thinking that the author was influenced by another book, "Amos and Boris", which is a much more sophisticated and eloquent book. This book is probably better for younger kids who are not quite ready for a richer writing style.

Book Review: Fun thoughtful children's story
Summary: 5 Stars

My sons (1 and 5 yrs old)and I really enjoy this book as well as "The Gruffalo" and others by Julia Donaldson. The rhyming is fun and helps the story flow and I enjoy the lesson and/or wit behind each story. These are sure to be favorites for a long time.

Book Review: One of the best children's books.
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Book Review: Wonderful story
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a wonderful simple story, with rhyme. Both my 4 & 6 year old really enjoy it. They also like the Gruffalo by the same author.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone's classroom or home library.
