great book submitted by Hanh Bui on July 10, 2016, 1:16am Great book for kids. Lilly is one of the funniest characters in children's literature.

Older kids submitted by keldan315 on August 19, 2017, 7:57am Great for kids around kindergarten and first grade. A bit lengthy for younger kids.

A book parents like reading submitted by courtneyhooper on August 15, 2022, 9:16pm Funny and fun

Lilly and the purple plastic purse submitted by czadams on August 28, 2022, 9:37am I absolutely love this story!! It is soo funny and entertaining but also it really allows for dialogue about what to do when we feel guilty and sad that we upset someone we really look up to!
It talks about ways to resolve this inner conflict to a really young audience! It is great school material!

Great length for an in depth story submitted by dailyreader on June 11, 2023, 10:33pm I loved reading this book to my children. It was long enough to have substance as a story, but short enough to read us a bedtime story. The witty repetitions of sayings in this book have stayed with us as a family!
