Description of how you would use book with students	This book would be a great mentor text for teaching repetition and visualizations.  Students could describe their own aspirations for their future along with fantasy dreams using a similar format with repetition.  The teacher could also share the text without revealing the illustrations and allow students to visualize Willy in various situations and draw pictures based on those visualizations.
