Description
When Whistle for Willie used to be first published in 1964, The New York Times wrote “Mr. Keats’ illustrations boldly, colorfully capture the kid, his town world. and the shimmering warmth of a summer’s day.” Now the tale of Peter, who longs to whistle for his dog, is out there to even the youngest child in a durable board book edition, with reinforced pages, a at hand trim size, and secure, rounded corners. Ezra Jack Keats, who died in 1983, used to be the award-winning creator of such youngsters’s favorites as The Snowy Day, which won the Caldecott Medal, and Goggles, a Caldecott Honor Book.
