Review:
When Willy, literally, bumps into Hugh they both apologise profusely and soon become fast friends. When Willy is bothered by Buster the bully, Hugh is on hand to defuse the situation; and when Hugh is frightened by a "terrifying creature", Willy is able to return the favour.
Review:
Anthony Browne's colourful illustrations tell their own story--the picture of the friends gazing at the humans in the cages at the zoo, for instance, speaks volumes. This apparently simple story of friendship works on many levels as Anthony Browne's humour and sympathy for the apparent underdog shines through in both text and illustrations. (Ages 3 and over)
A Big Book edition of this story is also available.

"No one who knows Anthony Browne's work will be surprised to learn that the illustrations are quite wonderful" (Daily Telegraph)
"Anthony Browne's stunning and masterful drawings, combined with a bizarre sense of humour, make Willy's exploits increasingly compulsive" (Daily Mail)
"Hurrah! we all say. Willy is back to delight us" (Books for Keeps)
"Browne is one of those acclaimed picture book authors who never disappoints" (Sunday Tribune)
