For each book purchased in the Adventures of Willy Nilly & Thumper series, a new book will be given to an organization that supports literacy in communities.

Willy Nilly and Thumper are best friends and adventurers with a knack for getting into tight squeezes and out of sticky situations, and always, always doing the right thing. When heavy rain washes out a camping trip, the friends seek shelter in a mysterious cave. Adventure and excitement quickly turn dangerous; the best friends are forced to think fast and make tough decisions before they are safe once again.

About this title

About the Author:

Jim Henry is a businessman, philanthropist, and lover of adventure. Willy Nilly stories have been told in Jim Henry's family for three generations. They began with his grandfather, who passed the tradition down to Jim's father, who told them to Jim when he was a child. Like his grandfather and father before him, Jim continued the tradition by telling bedtime stories about Willy Nilly, first to his three children and then to his eleven grandchildren. Buddy Holly composed music to live audiences, and if they didn't like it, he changed it, says Jim with a laugh. So that's what I did with my stories. Such improvisation, which also included creating the magical land of Choco, enabled Jim to field-test his stories. This gave him a strong feel for the ones that engaged, taught, and entertained children the most. Jim has now collected the best of these stories and is bringing them to life through colorful illustrations in the series of delightful Willy Nilly and Thumper books. Jim Henry's spirit of adventure and giving comes pouring through the endearing stories in his delightful new children's book series, The Adventures of Willy Nilly and Thumper.
