Willy the Dreamer

This Willy series book looked different than the others- it’s a lot bigger of a book, it’s boarders and colors used aren’t all primary like the other books, and this one also contains a dustcover, where the others do not. I would say this is one of the Willy series books that has the least text on each page, and probably the most easiest to read. The pictures are huge and have great detail in them, so the reader probably spends more time looking at each picture then reading the text.

Browne has a cute pattern in the story-he begins the story with the first page saying “Willy Dreams.” Then the next few pages, it says “Sometimes Willy dreams that he’s a __, or a ___, etc…Willy dreams.” Then, the pattern is repeated a few times and finally ends with a “Will dreams.” I like that Browne didn’t use anything too complex for getting his message across to the targeted audience, I feel any young child reading this would be able to get the message (just dream!)
