Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse, Kevin Henkes

This one is a HUGE favorite in my household, so much so that I had TWO copies of it! I bought Lily a copy and she received on her birthday, with a purple plastic purse, a little noise maker and some money, just like Lilly!

I really love reading this story to my Lily because it explains to children how important patience is and what happens when one jumps the gun! Lilly is so excited to show off her new present, that she keeps interrupting her teacher whom she adores! When he tells her that she'll have to wait, she gets very upset and writes a very naughty letter decrying her teacher!

But as she thinks about it, she realizes that what she did was oh so wrong. Will Lilly be forgiven?
