«Die Schnecke und der Buckelwal» is the illustrated children's story by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, published by Beltz in hardback (32 pp., in German).
A tiny snail eager to see the world persuades a humpback whale to take her on a journey. The whale shows her wonderful oceans and landscapes, but when it ends up stranded on a beach, it is the little snail who finds a way to save it. Written in verse, it celebrates friendship, courage and the adventurous spirit.
German edition of the children's classic «The Snail and the Whale» (2003), in mini format.
For early readers and for reading aloud; a good introduction to the work of Donaldson and Scheffler.
