Publisher's Note
Lilly loves everything about school, especially her cool teacher, Mr. Slinger. But when Lilly brings her purple plastic purse and its treasures to school and can't wait until sharing time, Mr. Slinger confiscates her prized possessions. Lilly's fury leads to revenge and then to remorse and she sets out to make amends.

Lilly, the star of Chester's Way and Julius, the Baby of the World, is back. And this time she has her name in the title - something she's wanted all along. If you thought Lilly was funny before, you are in for a treat. So hurry up and start reading. Lilly can't wait for you to find out more about her.



Lilly, the indomitable mouse-child from "Chester's Way" and "Julius, the Baby of the World, " returns in a story about school. Lilly loves everything about school: the pointy pencils, the squeaky chalk, the fish sticks and chocolate milk in the lunchroom. But one day, Lilly has something to share with her class--and she can't wait until Sharing Time. Full color.

Industry Reviews
"A stellar saga of love, passion, and irresistible impulses in the kindergarten set, this will strike a purple plastic chord with many young rodents--er, students."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (10/19/1996)

"The characters may be mice but the feelings depicted are authentically human and will bring smiles of recognition to every reader's face."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Michael Cart (10/06/1996)

"In all of children's literature there is just a handful of characters we think of as family--Madeline, Winnie the Pooh and Charlotte come to mind--and when this young generation is old enough to reflect on the ones it loved, Lilly will probably lead the pack."
New York Times Book Review - M.P Dunleavey (11/10/1996)

"The illustrations do an exceptional job of amplifying the text: Lilly dances with excitement, flashes with anger, wanes in remorse, and leaps right off the page with joy."
Waldron

    I love Kevin Henkes books and this one did not disapoint me. It is clever and very entertaining for the readers, young and old! I'm such a huge fan of his books, especially the mouse stories. I am so happy to have found this one. I now have most of his books.
