I Wish I Was Tall Like Willie
Following on the success of "I Wish I had Freckles like Abby" and "I Wish I had Glasses like Rosa" comes "I Wish I Was Tall Like Willie". As with the earlier books this one focuses on the common childhood desire to be just like your best friend. It is the story of a young boy who tries everything to try to appear taller like his friend Willie. From walking on stilts to putting socks in his shoes he tries everything but of course nothing works. With the complete text in both Spanish and English readers of either language can appreciate the book. No only is it a funny book that children will enjoy but it is also a good book to help Spanish speaking children learn English and vice versa. As with the prior books, I Wish I Was Tall Like Willie is a recommended book for young children.
