Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse June 1, 2007

Covered in Band-Aids, wearing red cowboy boots, and carrying a squirt gun at her side--this young mouse is ready for anything! That is, until the day her new baby brother arrives. Things get even worse when Mr. Slinger takes away her musical purple plastic purse for the day. But with a little help from her Grammy and her friends, Chester and Wilson, Lilly rises above it all and learns a few things about family, apologies and controlling her temper. Wisconsin author Kevin Henkes' characters usually make people laugh. Lilly makes us howl!
