Too shy to join the other children in group activities, Wilson resigns himself to doing everything alone--until the arrival at school of a new girl who does things alone too. By the author of the Three Little Witches series.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Wilson sits, eats, reads, plays, and walks home alone, ignored by his classmates. A smiling new girl comes and soon befriends the other children; she also notices Wilson, however, and tries to include him. The kids assure her that he wants to be left alone but, to everyone's surprise, Wilson responds immediately to her overtures and from then on he "...was not alone anymore." The absence of an adult in the story will help young audiences to see their own power and responsibility to effect change. The acrylic illustrations, done in soft masses of popsicle lime, orange, and grape, keep the mood bright. This attractive book could sensitize children to the social contract in a classroom; hopefully, an adult will be on hand to make the point that choosing to be alone sometimes is O.K., too.

Wonderful book for shy children,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wilson Sat Alone (Hardcover)
This is a great book to read to your children, especially if they tend to be shy. The kids love to "roar" along with the main character. The illustrations are also wonderful. I have also seen this book on PBS "Storytime".
