Uncle Bill babysits Willie in each of these three stories. In the first, Willie cuts his own hair; in the second, the two make "Icky Stew"; and in the third, they go listen to--and play along with--a garage band. The stories capture the sense of adventure, humor, and warmth an uncle (or aunt) can bring, and the gouache and pen-and-ink pictures reflect that same coziness.
