This book is about a monkey who is nice to everyone. Everyone walks all over him. He is constantly getting beat up by bullies which is how he got the name Willie the Wimp. He decided to start working out and get bigger so no one would pick on him. He rescued a girl monkey and everyone loves him and no one picks on him anymore. I would have this in my classroom library. It shows children how they can sometimes do little things to make themselves feel better.

This book is about a little monkey who is every sweet to everyone , and would not hurt a fly. He was always getting beat up by bullies, and was given the nickname willy the wimp. He started to workout and got a ton bigger, and no one picked on him anymore. He resuced a female monkey, and life was good. He still would not hurt a fly though. I liked this book for children because it shows how to change things they are unhappy with.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0744543630, Paperback)

Illus. in full color. "This particular wimp is a chimp, making for riotous pictures as we see the preppy-looking Willy being hassled by a gang of apes and finding his salvation in a Charles Atlas-type ad featuring a muscle-bound gorilla. Willy sends away for the book and soon becomes monkey enough to take on the gang when they attack his heartthrob, Millie. Browne's skillfully executed artwork has a crisp, polished look. Delicious tongue-in-cheek humor."--Booklist.
