The Snail and the Whale - funny friendship story by Julia Donaldson

#talent #education #kidsstories #movies

Another read-aloud Julia Donaldson story with enchanting illustrations by Axel Scheffler. Educational stories don’t get better than this, with adventure and an unlikely friendship between these two very different animals.

As we follow this curious snail it is a great opportunity to help children learn about ocean animals and different parts of the world. It also gives great opportunities to discuss how humans can help or hinder marine life.

If you need storytime book suggestions or fiction books for english teachers this is a great resource, as the underwater children's story uses rhyming to explain its message. Rhyming stories are a great device to support language acquisition as they help develop children's phonemic awareness.

This book is for 3 year olds upwards, but it can definitely go in the pile of children’s books for adults to enjoy too.
