      About This Book

      Explore the wonder of childhood in this classic, nearly wordless picture book!

      Young Peter embarks on a summer adventure in his neighborhood, learning how to whistle for his dog, Willie. But whistling is harder than it looks. Will persistence, patience, and imagination win the day? This heartwarming story by award-winning author and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats celebrates the joys of tiny triumphs with bright and engaging texture collages.

      "Mr. Keats' illustrations boldly, colorfully capture the child, his city world, and the shimmering heat of a summer's day." –The New York Times
