Illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
'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.'
A gorgeous story about a little snail with wanderlust, and the big-hearted whale who takes her away to exotic lands. When the whale beaches himself the snail repays his kindness and hatches a perfectly marvellous rescue plan!
