Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse
by Kevin Henkes
Stanley Yelnatses has been unlucky his entire life, thanks to his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing great-great-grandfather. Stanley lands himself in a detention center where he spends his day digging holes. Making unlikely friends and with a fantastical finish, this read is awesome for the silent reader or parent read aloud. Be sure to read the book before celebrating by watching the movie!
