Our Book of the Week for Younger Children

7th May 2021

This week’s book recommendation for our younger children comes from Miss Heath and is the fantastic ‘The Snail on the Whale’ written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

 

Miss Heath writes:

“I love this picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. It’s all about a very unlikely friendship between a huge blue whale and a tiny snail who is desperate to see the world! They go on an amazing adventure together and see some really funny and exciting things!”
