    About this audiobook

    Read by Imelda Staunton, The Snail and the Whale is a delightful tale of adventure and friendship by the unparalleled partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo. This audiobook edition includes a song and a read along track.

    "How I long to sail!" said the tiny snail.

    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!

    Perfect for listening to at home, in the car, at bedtime – or any time at all!
