Description:
Wyatt doesn't ask for much. He just wants to play with the big kids sometimes, help his sister wash the car, adopt a puppy. But no matter what he says to his friends and family, the response is always the same: "Quiet, Wyatt!" Sick and tired of being dismissed, Wyatt rebels. From now on, he is not going to say another word--even when, perhaps especially when, a word or two might have been helpful! In amusing rhyme and repetition, Bill Maynard portrays the very satisfying power shift that every small child dreams about. Frank Remkiewicz--illustrator of the popular Froggy series--uses unusual gouache and colored pencil illustrations to create a fantastic backdrop for this plucky boy's expressions, ranging from hopeful to disappointed to stubborn. Young children will recognize the frustrations Wyatt experiences in his effort to be heard, and delight in his ultimate success. (Click to see a sample spread. Reprinted with permission from G.P.
