Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse:

Lilly loves all sorts of things. She loves school, she loves dressing up, she even grows to love her stinky baby brother, Julius. In fact, Lilly loves everything! At least, she loves everything most of the time. Even Lilly has some bad days, but when you have movie star sunglasses and a purple plastic purse, how bad can it be? If you love life, then you’ll love Lilly!

Lilly's Big Day:

Mr. Slinger has big news. He’s getting married. Married! Lilly has big plans. She’s going to be the flower girl. (Lilly has always wanted to be a flower girl. Even more than a surgeon or a diva or a hairdresser.) But what’s the biggest, the best, the most perfect thing of all? You’re invited to the wedding—so start reading!
