The Tail of the Whale

We see a little girl (and her trusty dog) jump upon a whale’s tail and get taken deep underneath the sea, where colourful fish dance and dart across the pages, eels shimmer in ruby red and emerald green and clownfish form a merry band.

On emerging from this underwater paradise, expecting to see the dull, bland world she had left behind, the girl is confronted by a charming, winter’s surprise.

The illustrations in this book are quirky and imaginative and the underwater scenes are delightful, with plenty of detail to discover on each reading.
