About this listen

The Snail Song is a gentle and nostalgic tale by beloved Japanese children’s author Nankichi Niimi.

The king noticed a snail slowly crawling along a stone wall one morning. As he watched, he remembered a song he sang as a child about snails.

“Snail, snail, stalk out your horn, I think...”

But try as he might, he couldn’t remember the rest of the song. So he turned to his servants and asked, “Do you know the snail song?”

What happened next?

This story stirs childhood memories and gentle curiosity—a perfect read-aloud for children.
