"Und eines Nachts, von ganz weit her,
da kommt ein Wal aus dem blauen Meer.
Ein Buckelwal ist es, so groß wie ein Schiff,
und er singt ein Lied vom Korallenriff."
Eine neugierige Schnecke will in die Welt hinaus und der Buckelwal nimmt sie auf seiner Flosse mit. Doch eines Tages strandet der Wal an der Küste im Sand und die kleine Schnecke weiß: Wenn sie nicht hilft, wird es fürchterlich.
"How I long to sail!" said the tiny snail.
The Snail and the Whale is a delightful tale of adventure and friendship by the unparalleled picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo.
One little snail longs to see the world and hitches a lift on the tail of an enormous whale. Together they go on an amazing journey, past icebergs and volcanoes, sharks and penguins, and the little snail feels so small in the vastness of the world. But when disaster strikes and the whale is beached in a bay, it's the tiny snail's big plan that saves the day.
This edition features the classic story with a stunning, redesigned cover and beautiful finish, making it a must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson and Scheffler fans - big and small!
Also available with redesigned covers are: The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo's Child, Room on the Broom, The Smartest Giant in Town, Monkey Puzzle, Charlie Cook's Favourite Book, and A Squash and a Squeeze.
