Willy the Wimp

Willy the Wimp by Anthony Browne

Willy is a "wimp" that would not hurt a fly. He is tired of getting teased by other stronger apes. He sees an add for training plant that would make him strong. He orders it and then follows it. At first, he is just a wimpy ape hanging working out with strong athletes. He remains persistent and becomes stronger and bigger. Now the suburban gorillas are afraid of him and run away when they see him. He helps save Millie and is on cloud nine when she thanks him - and then crashes into a post. It is a well told story of persistence and hard work, but still staying yourself.
