Where's Willy

ISBN 1564021610 - Toddler siblings Willy and Lily, who failed to impress me in Good Night, Lily, get a little better in Where's Willy? Sturdy board book pages will stand up to your young reader and a mere 29 words make this book a good beginning reader. Lily and Willy play hide and seek. Willy hides in a bag and, when it tears open, pops out peek-a-boo style. Martha Alexander's illustrations are a little pastel-y for me, making them pleasant rather than good. For some reason, the top layer of the pages peels almost too easily; once they start peeling, there's no stopping it. The story is fun, and funny - little kids will enjoy it, especially because they'll know where Willy is before Lily. - AnnaLovesBooks

The first book my daughter is crazy about!

This is the first book my daughter has put on her "heavy rotation" list! Always a milestone! This is such a sweet and simple story of a little girl playing hide and seek with her brother. He hides inside a paper bag, and she notices that the bag has feet, the bag is walking, the bag is chasing her, and finally the bag falls apart, revealing her brother! It's the kind of thing that babies find hilarious in real life. It's also so nice to find a happy sibling relationship. I adore Rosemary Wells and the Max and Ruby books, but I do sometimes wish they got along a little better---Lily and Willy are such good friends! The pictures are detailed but simple enough to take in, without a lot of background. This whole small series is great, but this is my favorite within it!
