| | | Lilly is back! And, her adored teacher has some wonderful news -- he's getting married!
Annotation:
Lilly, the fabulous white mouse of LILLY'S PURPLE PLASTIC PURSE, is extremely excited because she's certain that her teacher Mr. Slinger will ask her to be the flower girl at his wedding. As it's going to be the most important day of her life, Lilly spends hours practicing walking down the aisle with a pretend bouquet, shod in her bright red boots. But when Mr. Slinger gently tells her that his niece, Ginger, is the flower girl, will Lilly be able to settle for flower-girl assistant? This smart, funny picture book is illustrated with Kevin Henkes's delightful watercolors. Henkes is the 2005 winner of the Caldecott Medal for KITTEN'S FIRST FULL MOON. A 2006 Publishers Weekly Book of the Year.
