“Save the whale” she writes on the blackboard. Beached and in danger, the tiny snail goes for help raising the alarm at the local school. The snail seeing it all.īut all is not well as the whale gets upset by the ear splitting roar of pleasure crafts in a small bay and swims too close to shore. Deep down caves where toothy sharks grins and colourful corals where stripy fish swim. Dolphins, turtles, brown bear and eagles. Julia Donaldson weaves a lovely rhyming tale as the snail rides the whales tail around the world. The tide goes in and out and day turns to night, with lighthouse beacon and twinkling stars setting the scene for the Humpback whales arrival. He perfectly captures the atmosphere of a little English port and the changing views of a busy harbour. Axel Scheffler is a master of children’s illustration.
