The Snail and the Whale

«««««
Written by Julia Donaldson
Illustrated by Axel Scheffler
36 pages

The sea snail slithered all over the rock
And gazed at the sea and the ships in the dock.
And as she gazed she sniffed and sighed.
"The sea is deep and the world is wide!
How I long to sail!"
Said the tiny snail.

Wriggle
Slithered
Earsplitting
Frolick
Shimmering

"A snail! A snail!"
The teacher turns pale.
"Look!" say the children.
"It's leaving a trail."
This is the trail
Of the tiny snail,
A silvery trail saying...
Save the whale!
