Every aspiring writer should read her books because, in very few words, she demonstrates a wealth of knowledge. Julia Donaldson is one of the most incredible storytellers working today.

What makes it so fantastic? In my opinion there are two things – the snail and the rhythm of the words. It is coming to television this Christmas and I can’t wait to see it on-screen. The Snail And The Whale is among my favourite of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s picture-books. There is only one problem – the world is so vast and the mountains so high. The pair make perfect partners and soon the snail is on the voyage of a lifetime. A Whale who happens to be bound for a trip around the world. Review: The Snail And The Whale by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.Ī little snail who longs to see the world.
