Bling Reviews - Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes

By

Hi Friends,

We have a really fun book to review this week.  The name of the book is Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse and it was written by Kevin Henkes.      Our main character is a little gray mouse named Lilly.   She is really cute.    If you look at the photo below you will see I was reading the book to Faith and Lacey, one of my cats.   All of a sudden, the pup, Bliss, barged in and demanded to be part of the story time.  Ooops - I thought she was taking her baby nap.   Sorry Bliss!  I better not leave my little sister out again.




You know how I LOVE to look at the pictures in books.   I noticed right away that Lilly was wearing red cowboy boots.  I LOVE red cowboy boots.   Oh my, it appears I am getting off track... back to my review.  The first thing I noticed while reading the book was how Lilly was happy about everything.   She loved her teacher, she loved school, she loved drawing; Lilly was one happy little mouse.   Then, one day  Lilly took something to class that she was really excited to share.   Things did not work out how Lilly thought they would.   Lilly learned a valuable lesson that includes kindness and patience.   I sure don't want to ruin the story and tell you more.   If you have an opportunity to read this book (and look at the wonderful pictures) I think you will be glad you did!!

I just received a message that truly touches the heart.   This message is a result of a grandmother who gave her grandson my children's picture book, No Ghoulish Green Monsters Here, and following is what she shared with me.  I have to say, I could not be more excited....touched....Bling's messages through her book are exactly what was hoped for while I was writing it and creating the illustrations.   To purchase Bling's book - go to her website at adogbling.com Hi Dawn! I bought a autographed copy of your first book for my 3 year old grandson. His sweet Dad just sent me these two texts this evening and I thought you would enjoy seeing them.   My son loves the Bling Irish setter book you got him, we’ve read it by demand every night lol   He literally loves this book lol.

Hi friends, It is time for this week's book review.   The name of this week's book is Interrupting Chicken .   The story is written and illustrated by David Ezra Stein . Last week my book review was also a chicken story.  Here we are this week with another chicken story.   I love chickens.  It is that simple.  They are fun little pets and they give me eggs for my breakfast.  Yeah.   Eggs are yummy.   This week's book, Interrupting Chicken, is about a little red chicken that interrupts her Papa when he is reading her bed time stories.   I have 2 red chickens.  Really, it is true.  If you look closely, you can see them behind me in this photo.  The first one is Tribble and the one behind her is Dr. Pepper.   They are two of my most favorite chickens.   I have nine.   That's not counting my new chicks!   Let's move on to our book review and stop me...

Hi Friends, It is time for another weekly book review.   Writing a book review means I've read a book.  Every time I read a book, I have to bark bark bark with excitement.  Books are really special.  I am not sure if we talk enough about that.   Books let us explore places we may never visit in person.  On the flip side, books may tells us about a place that leads to us to visit there someday.   Books are so important.   Okay, on to our book! This week, my book review is on "Good Night Baddies" written by Deborah Underwood and illustrated by Juli Kangas. When you look at a book, do you ever wonder what made you want to read the book?   For me, it is all about pictures.  After all, isn't that what a children's picture book is all about?   With this week's book, "Good Night Baddies", I loved how real the illustrations looked.   I picked up the book and opened it to read the book flap...
