About This Book

Anthony Browne's mild-mannered chimp teams up with a group of gorilla soccer stars in his first new picture-book appearance in five years.  Willy has much to overcome.  Not only is he a midget next to his burly teammates, he is convinced that his skill at soccer is due to a pair of magic shoes--which he forgets on the day of the big game!   How the irrepressible Willy finds the confidence to lead the gorillas to victory will have everyone cheering. "Willy is a winner with surefire appeal for anyone who wonders if attaining a goal is possible."--(starred review) School Library Journal
