This laugh out loud, heart-warming book is fantastic. Lilly keeps a purple plastic purse and she wants to bring it to school. I recommend this book for children who like to laugh. Lilly loves school. Will her teacher forgive her. She even acts like a teacher to her little brother, Julius. There is this little mouse named Lilly. Honestly my favorite part when she teaches her brother the alphabet.
One day Lilly came to school very happy. She brought something very special and her teacher doesn't like it. Will Lilly get in more trouble. Read this funny book to find out.
This is a very cute book with lots of pictures to entertain kids. It might help to teach your children how to control their anger and a little bit about forgiveness.
Angry at her beloved teacher, Mr. How she makes amends to the perfectly understanding Mr. The child-mouse Lilly (familiar from other Henkes books, like "Chester's Way") is irrepressible, well-meaning, and spiteful-- a real kid. This is one of the two or three books that I buy for all of my friends who are having babies-- a classic deserving of shelf space right along with "Where the Wild Things Are," "Amos and Boris," "George and Martha," "Ferdinand," "The Cat in the Hat," and (new favorite) "Food Hates You Too." In particular, "Lilly" is a must for children starting school. Henkes is terrific because he doesn't sugar-coat his characters; part of what makes Lilly special is that she has her flaws. Tomorrow will be better"), Lilly is horrified, stricken with remorse.
After he returns the purse and she finds snacks in it accompanied with a note ("today was a difficult day.
Slinger, after he confiscates for the day her purple purse because she keeps interrupting class to show it off, Lilly retaliates by producing a nasty drawing of "big fat mean Mr.
Slinger).
It tracks the complexity of the kindergartner/ teacher relationship-- the student's infatuation with the teacher, her disillusionment, her betrayal, her remorse, her amends.
Slinger (all teachers should be Mr.
stealing teacher" and slipping it into Mr.
Slinger's book bag.
is a good lesson for children on the importance of saying I'm sorry, without ever being preachy or saccharine.
This book is a true classic.
My granddaughter loves this book. It was just a little long for reading before bedtime, where my grandkids usually have a choice of three books each read to them.
Despite the fact that his books feature anthropomorphic mice, Kevin Henkes' characters are always strikingly realistic. And it's confiscated.Then she - predictably - is upset at her teacher instead of herself. Lilly is no exception.When she gets a COOL PURSE from her grandma, she has a predictably hard time waiting until Show-and-tell. so hard a time that she doesn't wait. So she writes him a nasty letter. which she repents from when she realizes he doesn't totally hate her after all.The descriptions of her feelings are just right, and she settles her problem in just the way I'd suggest to a kid in her situation.
