Strange book about a boy who goes to the moon through a door in his bedroom and finds a giant snail who is looking for his silver ball. However, both the boy and the snail each have qualities that the other do not, so they learn something from each other. C. 2010, Genre-fantasy

Willoughby isn't afraid of the dark. He just wants to know where the moon goes each night it gets smaller and smaller and smaller. As he steps through the door of his closet, Willoughby gets his wish during an overnight adventure on the moon. This is a follow-up to 2009's Willoughby & the Lion. I enjoy all of Greg Foley's picturebooks, though I think the art he's doing with the Willoughby series is particularly innovative. Whereas the first Willoughby book was black and white with gold accents, Foley picks up the shimmer irridescent quality of the moon in this new black, white, and silver picturebook.

I liked the illustrations especially the silvery pages, but something seemed missing from the story for me.

This black and white book shines brightly from its silver pages. The story is okay but nothing to write home about.
