Submitted by Melissa from Lexington Park!Ungrateful. That’s one word to summarize Billy, a character from the book Whatever by William Bee. No matter what is done for Billy, “whatever” is his only expression of thanks. His father, aiming to please, shows him extraordinary things: a very tall giraffe, the world’s curliest trumpet. He even flies him to the edge of outer space! But, unfortunately all Billy can say is, “whatever.” *Sigh* Then, one day, the world’s hungriest tiger comes along, and things change for Billy. This is a snarky tale of a boy who doesn’t appreciate the effort of others and in doing so, learns a valuable lesson… the hard way. The words and pictures are simple, but the message is loud and clear. This is a book for parents looking for a platform in which to explore the values of appreciation and gratefulness, told in true fairy tale fashion. See this book listed in our catalog
