L'escargote de mer rampait sur son rocher en contemplant les flots et les bateaux à quai. Et elle regardait et elle gémissait et elle soupirait : "La mer est profonde et la terre est ronde... Oh ! J'aimerais tant découvrir le vaste monde !". A delightful tale of adventure and friendship by the unparalleled picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo. This edition features the classic story with a redesigned wintery cover, making it a must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson and Scheffler fans - big and small!"How I long to sail!" said the tiny snail.

But when disaster strikes and the whale is beached in a bay, it's the tiny snail's big plan that saves the day!
