In this first book of a series, the world gets introduced to Silly Willy Winston, a steadfast friend and unlikely hero that young readers can relate to and admire. A heart-warming Basset Hound, Silly Willy Winston was inspired by author and illustrator Donna Maguire's real-life dog Winston. In "The Wacky World of Silly Willy Winston, An Ordinary Pet with Extraordinary Adventures" we meet a quirky hound whose traits, like his big ears and stout frame at first may seem awkward. However, through self-acceptance Silly Willy comes to learn his unique characteristics and abilities are just the things needed to help his friends and have adventures as Super Snout, Inspector Snout, Pirate Snout and Explorer Snout. One reviewer wrote: "Silly Willy Winston is poised to join the ranks of beloved storybook dogs for a new generation."
