One of my favorite to read to my kids
One of my very favorite children’s books to read to my kids. We love all of the rhyming, song like stories and beautiful illustrations from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, but this one about the adventures of a tiny snail is just lovely, and always keeps the kids captivated. This purchase was to gift the book to my nephew so he could enjoy it as much as we do.

Fun book for your little adventurer
My 22 month old just loves these books by Julia. Fun, lilting story with just the right amount of words on each page to keep her attention. Not quite as smooth of a read as my favorite of hers "Room on the Broom" but still pretty cute!
