When Willie Bentley was young, snowflakes used to make him very happy. He would examine the ice crystals that developed on the snowflake under a microscope. Willie hoped he would be able to photograph the snowflakes at some point. He would sketch his discoveries about snowflakes. Additionally, Willie noticed that the snowflakes he was finding were different. Bentley was a beacon of hope for those who loved the outdoors and being outdoorsy. He was persistent and patient in his desire to take photos. Personal Response: As funny as it may sound, I relate to this book. It helped me define my objectives as an adult that I want to achieve. Willie Bentley, the tiny boy, made me feel a lot like myself. I am halfway towards my lifelong dream of becoming a teacher. I will keep going until I accomplish that aim. For younger children, this needs a more distinct topic. Willie Bentley, the primary character, is a bright young child with aspirations similar to everyone else's. The distinction I perceive in this narrative is that most children do not aspire to emulate Willie Bentley. Pedagogical Response: Any child could benefit from reading this book. Because it offers readers a tangible experience, this book does have appeal. Willie Bentley demonstrated tenacity of character in catching something that is practically uncatchable. They'll probably recognize Willie Bentley as the figure. The primary character is him. The pupils won't require comprehension. The children will be able to understand every component of language, structure, and style in this story. The kids will experience a sense of resolve. This book might encourage readers to make and follow through on their goals.
