This book reminds me of a chapter book version of the comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes. William has such a boundless imagination for getting into mischief. While his antics are mostly funny, his constant and deliberate disobedience make him ineligible for a position as a character for children to look up to. However, as an adult, I enjoyed listening to the stories. There is something fascinating about the way William interacts with life, which keeps you listening and listening!
