![]() Using a book like "Whistle for Willie", will help in exercising gross and fine motor skills that young children ages 3 to 5 years may need help defining. 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. ![]()
