The Snail And The Whale is a 2003 children's picture book written by former children's laureate Julia Donaldson and illustrated by longtime collaborator Axel Scheffler. It has won several awards, including 2004 Early Years award for the best pre-school book, the 2005 Blue Peter award for Best Book to Read Aloud, and the 2007 Giverny award for Best Science Picture Book. The Snail and the Whale has also been adapted into an audiobook, a successful stage play and translated into British Sign Language.
Donaldson has said that it is one of her favourite books, due to its similarity in rhyming style to the works of Edward Lear, of which she was particularly fond of as a child.[1]
A little sea snail lives alone with a snail flock, on a rock by the docks, and longs to see the big, wide world. After she writes an advert for a "lift wanted around the world" using her trail, a kind humpback whale arrives one moonlit night and offers to take her travelling around the world. The aquatic duo see many sights along their way until one sunny summer morning, the whale, confused by the sound of a group of racing speedboats, swims into a bay and is left beached by the slowly retreating tide.
In an effort to help her friend, the snail crawls over to a nearby school in the bay, and asks for help by writing "Save The Whale!" in her trail on the blackboard. The school's children immediately fetch the emergency services, and the local people and the fire department help to keep the abandoned whale wet until the tide finally turns before re-entering the bay, and the snail and the whale are able to refloat and swim safely away from the villagers.
Together, the snail and the whale return to the snail's home in the dock, where the other members in the snail flock are suitably impressed by the two travellers' tales. The whale holds out his tail, allowing the other snails to crawl on board. Then, as the sun sinks behind the surface of the ocean, the kind humpback whale takes the entire Snail Flock away to travel around the world. As the whale swims on the surface of the water, all nine snails hanging for dear life on his tail sing out loud to the sea.
