Title of Book: Where Willy  Went….

Reviewed by: Mary Buckner - Library staff

Collection: Picture Book

Suggested audience: Read to me by caregiver

This picture book is an interesting twist on the more usual sex education books. The story follows Willy the little sperm and is in the tradition of Babette Cole's “Mummy Laid An Egg”. Willy is preparing for the Great Swimming Race. He isn't very good at sums but he is an excellent swimmer. Willy has to memorise maps of Mr and Mrs Brown to learn the path he needs to take to get to the prize first. He claims the prize and is surprised by what happens. The book has a fun ending. This would be a great book to begin raising the subject (particularly appealing to boys), or to answer some of the early questions in fun and interesting ways. Children and adults will enjoy this book; it's endearing and fun.
