Snail Clementine, who's fascinated by all things round (like her), enlists her snake friend Paul to help figure out how to get to the moon; a rocket finally does the trick. There's not much to the story--there's no conflict en route, no quandary once she gets there. Loth's clear, unfussy illustrations, including gatefold pages devoted to Clementine's journey, are visually impressive.
