Publisher's summary

From the creators behind The Gruffalo is a delightful tale of adventure and friendship with Julia Donaldson's trademark rhyming text and Axel Scheffler's brilliant, characterful illustrations - a perfect gift for any special occasion

When a tiny snail meets a humpback whale, the two travel together to far-off lands. It's a dream come true for the snail, who has never left home before. But when the whale swims too close to shore, will the snail be able to save her new friend?

Critic reviews

"Along with providing a resonant environmental message, the story lightly demonstrates that friendships come in all shapes and sizes.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
