Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked by the grown-up world or is bursting with misguided but well-intentioned energy. It is a perfect choice for kids who possess a wild imagination and a desire to be the hero of their own story, even when their plans result in comical catastrophe. William Does His Bit follows the irrepressible William Brown during the early days of World War II. Frustrated that the adults are having all the 'fun' of the war effort, William takes matters into his own hands by hunting for spies and attempting to join the army. While the setting is historical, the emotional core is timeless: the struggle for independence and the humor found in a child's literal interpretation of adult problems. It is a lighthearted, episodic read that builds vocabulary through its sophisticated, witty prose.
