    Willy is a precocious boy who’s also rather full of himself. In this book written in rhyming verse and illustrated in a child-like manner by Lynne Pickering of Warwick , Australia (the second of three books) Willy goes on an errand for his Mother to retrieve loaned- out cake pans from one of her friends. He finds a poor kitten stuck in a wet storm drain along the way. He rescues the kitten and imagines himself a huge hero who receives many accolades and a formal thank-you dinner from the city for his effort. When he arrives at his destination he tells everyone of his daring rescue of the kitten from a watery doom in the storm drain and his story about himself begins to grow. When he returns home and tells his Mother of his brave rescue of the kitten (as he tells it) she calls all his friends as he watches TV in another room. He receives a surprise thank-you party including a just-made cake and a large thank-you banner quickly made by one of his friends. In this way Willy’s daydream virtually comes true.
