This is a gorgeous picture book written in rhyming verse, about a snail who travels around the world on the tail of a humpback whale. When the whale becomes beached, the snail is able to save its life by writing a message using its slime trail, showing that even small people can make a difference. The illustrations, done using pencil, ink, watercolors, colored pencils, and crayons, are vibrant and detailed, and the effect is visually stunning. Recommended for ages 5-8, and due to the rhyming verse, this would make a great read-aloud! (  ) rsamet | Dec 18, 2008 |   no reviews | add a review
