Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse
Books
Lilly the mouse loves everything about school, especially her teacher, Mr. Slinger. One day Lilly comes to school with a new pair of movie-star sunglasses, three shiny quarters, and best of all, a purple plastic purse. She is so eager to show off her prized possessions to her classmates that she has a hard time listening, being considerate of others, and waiting until the appropriate time to share. After one too many disruptions, Mr. Slinger confiscates Lilly’s treasures for the rest of the day. Lilly becomes furious. What happens next speaks to issues of repentance and forgiveness in ways young children can readily connect with.
