Peter wants to learn to whistle so he can call his dog, Willie.©1964 Ezra Jack Keats (P)1965 Weston Woods Literature & Fiction

Editorial reviews

Young Peter wants to learn how to whistle so he can call his dog, Willie. Peter huffs and puffs but he can’t make a toot. After weeks' worth of wheezing, Peter’s practice finally pays off.

Ezra Jack Keats’ short tale delivers young listeners an important lesson about practice and perseverance. Performer Jane Harvey brims with warmth, as she lends a sympathetic and reassuring voice to Peter’s predicament. With its message of learning and growth, Whistle for Willie presents a story with which three- to six-year-olds can relate.

We've been slowly going through and buying the audible books from the With Synchronized Images category and have found that some are mis-categorized and don't have images. This one DOES have the original illustrations and we just love it! This is such a beautiful story, we're going through and getting all the Keats books!

I love the illustrations that play with the audio!

A wonderful book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found great relation with the protagonist and I further highly recommend this book.

A great book

We recently discovered these kids audible books that have the illustrations in a slideshow as they listen to the stories on their fire tablets in the app. My boys (5-11) are all LOVING discovering their favorite stories over again with Audible! These are a STEAL!
