Will Goes to the Post Office

One of the reasons I like this book is because I have a son named Will. He frequently goes to the post office with me. But the book itself has plenty going for it. It's a sweet, simple book. My son loves it. The text is very simple, the pictures are simple. I think that is a major part of its appeal. Not every book has to have complicated pictures and complex plots. But it's cute, has a nice ending, and my 5 year old liked it.

Going to the post office is another adventure for Will and the neighborhood kids who tag along. Pushing open doors and crossing streets are big deals for these kids, not to mention Will getting a giant package! The pictures are simple and colorful, the best one is last when they all go into the closet to check out what was in Will's package. My favorite character is the little bald boy, who's expressions and actions are just like my two year old who also loved "Will's New Cap" and "Will Gets a Haircut".
