Ezra Jack Keats' previous book, The Snowy Day, won the Caldecott medal in 1963. Here, we meet Peter again who wants to learn how to whistle to his dog, Willie. Try as he might, he cannot produce a sound, but attempting to whistle throughout the day (while hiding in a box, playing with chalk, staring in a mirror, and playing along the street) finally leads to success. A first edition in Fine condition in an About Fine dust jacket.
