One of the most well-known children's books written by American author Julia Donaldson is "The Snail and the Whale." The story follows a young boy who meets a snail one day.

But once the boy gets to know the snail, he realizes that it was only joking, and not too long later, the whale swallows a boat, not a snail. This may seem like an odd analogy for a children's book, but many kids are fascinated with this tale of possibility.
