a sweet tale submitted by unknown on July 30, 2013, 2:22pm I loved this book. Not only is it a sweet story about friendship and finding courage to step out of one's comfort zone for the sake of it, but the illustrations are so vivid. Fish and Snail live in a book, but Fish loves to visit other books. When Fish comes back from his latest jaunt he wants Snail to come with him on the next adventure. Snail refuses and the friends have a fight. Snail panics after Fish jumps into another book and has to decide if he values his friend enough to face his fears. I love the writing which is simple and straightforward, perfect for the story. The illustrations match the text beautifully, allowing the story to speak for itself. The facial expressions say it all. Wonderful book, great for sharing. Highly recommended.
Creative submitted by jackson.sarah.jean on March 26, 2016, 11:01am This is a creative book. This is a story within a story where snail and fish get into a disagreement and go there separate ways, but then resolve it through their sweet friendship.
