I read this one in connection with Earth Day of all things and the kids really loved it. The whale takes the snail on a worldwide adventure and in the moment of crisis snail alerts the local school house that whale has beached himself. It was a fun rhyming text, worth the read. ( )

This story uses poetry excellently to tell the tale of friendship. It sends a great message about being humble and appreciating the beauty of the natural world. It also proves that even if you are small and a problem seems huge there is nothing that can stop you when you put your mind to it.
