Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse | 
“The glasses were so glittery, the quarters were so shiny, and the purse played such nice music, not to mention how excellent it was for storing school supplies.”

This story would be great to use for discussing consequences for unexpected behaviors at school and moving forward. I might use this story if a student is upset about “getting in trouble.”

This book is about a little girl, Lilly, who loves her purple plastic purse but gets it taken away at school. The vibrant illustrations are engaging to children and make the story more fun to read. There are many details in the pictures that enhance what is being described in the narration. The themes of following rules and accepting consequences are important and relatable for young readers.

pickThis cute F story about a mouse, Lilly, by Kevin Henkes is a story that both teachers and students can relate to. I did my book book on this book, but I also did my author study on Kevin Henkes. Lilly loves her teacher Mr. Slinger until he does the meanest thing she could think of, he takes her new Purple Plastic Purse. Lily is furious, by the end of the book she realizes how her words have an impact on other people. #ucflae3414f17
pickLilly‘s Purple Plastic Purse is a wonderful story about an eccentric little girl who loves school and especially her teacher, Mr. Slinger. Lilly gets a cool new purse, jingly change, and sunglasses with a chain like Mr. Slinger‘s and simply cannot wait to show it off to her classmates, resulting in her getting them taken away. She is angry at first but soon realizes Mr. Slinger is right and makes amends with her favorite teacher. #ucflae3414f17
When you find a whole bunch of pens in the bottom of an old purse. Only one of them is dried up though, so I guess that‘s a victory.
pickCan't believe I've never read these either! J'adore! I need all of these on my shelf ASAP. #kidlit #picturebooks
A fabulous F book that comes from the award winning Kevin Henkes. Awesome vocabulary options, good lessons and themes featured (everyone has bad days) and promotes how being a teacher is rewarding & fun! Would be great as an interactive read or reading theater option. The author's website has a plethora of text supplements but my favorites are separated by each mouse character- Lilly's: http://www.kevinhenkes.com/book/lilly/ #UCFLAE3414su17
This was the very first books I was told I had to read, know, and love as a children's librarian. And they were right. Love It!! #LetterLLove.
My best friend has been living in Romania for awhile and told me that there is a trend for purses with a clear window so others can see the cover of the book you're carrying/reading. I think I want one?
this is so true! I chose this title because I use a purple backpack/purse. it's as heavy as carry-on luggage but I love it and it holds everything I need 📚😀👍
