Poor Willy Nilly is taught some things to say, but alas, he always ends up saying them at the wrong time, e.g. telling the neighbors moving away, "Good riddance to bad rubbish!" This one has Teia in cackles -- can it be that it's too good to pass up a chance for some practical jokes, faux-pas style?

Really fun and funny account of a little boy who’s always being told to say the right thing! Will he ever get the timing right?

Nice repetitive style and great tale for little ones to read along with. My 3 year old got the gist very quickly and loved the story! Lovely short bedtime book :)
