Review: Beautiful story and beautiful book - My son's favorite. Tells a beautiful story about friendship, and the illustrations are so beautiful.
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 🌟
