Snail's Birthday Wish
by Fiona Rempt
Age Range: Under_5
It’s Snail’s birthday and all his forest friends have gathered to help him celebrate. Beaver, Squirrel, Duck, Mole, Frog, and Ant all arrive carrying balloons and an assortment of brightly wrapped presents. Soon, everyone is having fun – everyone that is, except Snail. He is sad that he isn’t fast enough to participate in all the games. When he opens his gifts, he is even more confused. Why have his friends given him, a chair, a bag of nails, a pile of smooth wood, Snowshoes and Wheels?
Fiona Rempt’s heartwarming story shows the importance of friendship and making other people happy and the gentle humour of Snail’s bemusement is engaging.
Noëlle Smit’s vibrant and expressive illustrations will ensure that this picture book becomes a firm favourite.
