This beautifully illustrated board book and plush dachshund toy, with its soft fur, upturned nose, smiling face and sewn-on pink dog collar is the perfect set for even the youngest dog lover. If Peter could only learn to whistle, then his dog, Willie would hear him and come running.  In this comical story nothing Peter does seems to help. It’s not until Peter least expects it that his wish comes true, and he blows a whistle that brings Willie running.  Caldecott award-winner Ezra Jack Keats tells his delightful tale in simple, easy-to-follow writing, and with his bold, colorful illustrations it captures a city neighborhood as seen through the eyes of a child on a summer’s day. Willie will greet and comfort his new friends. He is also a great companion for Peter, the Snowy Day Doll.
