This is a good book for younger children to read. I know when I was younger I wanted a purse to carry around all the time as did Lilly. She gets so excited about her new purse that she gets into trouble. This book makes you want to wonder what's next.

Lily wanted to be many things when she got big. However, she wanted to be a teacher at one point, or so she thought. Lily had a new teacher. He wore his glasses on the end of his nose. He wore a tie for every day of the week. He made the best snacks. His name was Mr. Slinger. He was the best teacher of all and Lily loved him. At home Lily pretended to be Mr. Slinger when she played teacher. In the light bulb lab at school, Lily drew pictures of Mr. Slinger and wrote stories about him. One day Lily brought her new purple purse to school. In her purse was a pair of sun glasses and three shiny quarters. Her purse even made music when she opened it. Liliy was so excited about her new things. She wanted everyone to see. While Mr. Slinger was teaching, Lily was busy showing off her new purse and sunglasses. Mr. Slinger took Lily's purse until it was time to go home. Lily was very upset about it. She wrote a bad note and put it in Mr. Slinger's bag. When Lily got home she discovered a very nice note from Mr. Slinger. She was very sad. She wrote a very sweet note apologizing to Mr. Slinger for what she had done. She baked him some very nice snacks to take to school the next day. Mr. Slinger forgave Lily and she wanted to be a teacher again.

This is a cute book that teaches kids a lesson in the end. It's about a little girl named, Lily who brings her flashy purple purse to school but distracts too many people. Her purse ends up being taken away and because Lily is so mad she writes her teacher a mean note. But, Lily ends up feeling bad and bakes cookies for her teacher and he ends up becoming her favorite teacher. This has a good lesson for kids to learn.

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0688128971, Hardcover)

The irrepressible mouse heroine of Chester's Way and Julius, the Baby of the World returns for another true-to-life and very funny episode. Lilly loves everything about school, especially her teacher, Mr. Slinger--until he takes away her musical purse because she can't stop playing with it in class. Lilly decides to get revenge with a nasty drawing of "Big Fat Mean Mr. Stealing Teacher!" but when she finds the kind note he put in her purse, she's filled with remorse and has to find a way to make things right again. Children will sympathize with Lilly's impulsive mistake and laugh uproariously at the witty and expressive pictures of the very human mice. In a starred review, Publisher's Weekly called this book "sympathetic and wise." (Ages 4 to 8)
