Willoughby & The Lion by Greg E. Foley
4.0
Willoughby & the Lion is a heartwarming story that both children and adults can enjoy.
The story entails a young boy who is very unhappy in his new home. He finds an enchanted lion in the backyard who tells the boy that he can grant him ten wishes. The boy immediately starts wishing for fantastical things, and the lion becomes very sad over the course of time. He tells the boy that he misses home and his lion friends. The boy tries to cheer him up, but the he still hadn't wished for "the most wonderful thing of all." It's up to the boy to wish for the one thing that will make the lion happy.
The illustrations in this book are gorgeous combinations of black outlining and gold gilt. The shimmery gold outlines everything magic, bringing the book to life.
This book is a great story with wonderful illustrations to boot. People of all ages can enjoy the story of a young boy learning valuable life lessons with the help of his magical friend.
