The verse in The Snail and the Whale is adorable. But when the whale swims too close to shore, will the snail be able to save her new friend? It’s a dream come true for the snail, who has never left home before.
While I love those books (I give them as shower gifts anytime a friend has a baby), there’s another book I kept coming back to, one I bought for my daughter on a whim at the Seattle Aquarium about two years ago: The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Axel Scheffler.įrom Goodreads: When a tiny snail meets a humpback whale, the two travel together to far-off lands. I considered blogging about a classic like Goodnight Moon or The Very Hungry Caterpillar, but in the end I just couldn’t. As a former teacher and current parent (my daughter is three-and-a-half, in case you’re wondering), the picture book collection in my house is extensive. While this blog focus mostly on young adult literature, I am also a lover of picture books. Just celebrate picture books! (And big thanks to Kat Owens for letting me know about this fantastic blogfest!) What made (or makes) you love it? Share two sentences or fifteen paragraphs.
It can be your favorite as a child or your favorite as a parent, a writer, or a teacher. Bickel at Write-At-Home-Mom, the “My Favorite Picture Book” blogfest is exactly what it sounds like: In celebration of this unique literary form combining two art forms (writing and illustrating), blog about your favorite picture book.
