Similar to the fable of the lion and the mouse, this inspiring story teaches us the power of friendship. An adventurous snail seeks travel and hitches a ride on a hunchback whale to discover a beautifully huge, yet intimidating world. But when the whale washes up on shore, the snail uses what little power he has to send a clever SOS. A fun and enriching read for all ages, with a great lesson to boot.
