This story is about a little monkey who is a big dreamer. We see that Willy dreams all sorts of things from being a famous actor to flying! The language is simple, but the illustrations bring the story to life. Many of the illustrations seem to be based in famous paintings, changing them to fit Willy's dream. Not only are the illustrations different, but they are also very elaborate!
I would love to see this book used in lower elementary classrooms. The language is simple enough, but the pictures suggest so much more. Students would see that there is so much they could do, if they dream it. In the back of the book, Anthony Browne says this book is his very own day dream book. It would be fun for students to have a "day dream" book too. It would be about all that they are, and all they want to be.
