A lot of children like to ask questions repetitively, especially when they are simple questions that irritate their mothers. This book features a boy named Willy whose favorite question seems to be: and then what? His mother uses patience and imagination to keep answering the same question. At first she describes the coming events of their day, when she gets past bedtime she makes up an imaginary series of events for Willy's amusement. The whimsical illustrations add to the story and characterize Willy's family. This would be a good book for a mother to read to her son, or any repetitive child. ( )
