You come to identify with Willie and his efforts in doing something he only thought he had to wait a long time for it to happen. Until finally, after practicing and practicing, he blows his first whistling sound. Willie continues to do more tricks and tries again to whistle and nothing happened. He tried to whistle while wearing his dad's hat,and that didn't happen. Just like what I had done when I was Willie's age, Willie goes on to think that if he pretended to look and act like his father, then whistling would come naturally. It's such a simply story and the author, Ezra Jack Keats, really depicts the mind and behavior of a 4 or 5 year old child in this story. This book is comical, and everyone would enjoy the story of a young boy, named Willie, who tries and tries again to whistle.
