5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely Brill :)
By Ava Esposito-Carroll on January 24, 2002
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Wow, what a sweet book.
This story is told by the little girl who is going to town with her mother for the morning.
She has a big green pocketbook, just like Mama's, but hers is empty and she can't find anything to put inside it.
Mama says "hurry", because the bus is coming, so the little girl brings her empty pocketbook along anyway.
During the course of the morning, she gathers many treasures and by the time the bus comes to return the girl and her mother home, her pocketbook is full.

The little girl's view of the world is refreshing and enchanting.
She observes that the cool marble walls in the bank smell like pennies. And she is amazed that, at the drycleaners, the machine knows exactly where to stop for mama's suit.
This is a delightful book that moms and daughters will enjoy, but both boys and girls will like hearing it, and seeing the usual best from Candice Ransom and Felicia Bond's wonderful illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is a delightful book
By A Customer on January 10, 1998
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent book. Our daughter is 3 and enjoys having it read over and over again. The main reason I love it is that is has a strong female lead in the young girl who accompanies her mother on a trip to town. The girl's observations about everyday things are amusing and intelligent.

5.0 out of 5 starsa favorite in our house
By A Customer on September 2, 2003
Format: Paperback
This book reminds me so much of when I was a little girl and went with my mother to run errands. Back then the stores really did hand out keyrings and pocket calendars and my Grandma worked at a dry cleaner so I got to see the "magic machine" a lot when people picked up their clothes. My girls both love this book, even though the oldest is now 13. We have completely worn out the binding of the hardback copy we have!

5.0 out of 5 starsLovely bond between mom and daughter
By A Customer on August 28, 2000
Format: Paperback
This is a wonderful book for mothers to read to or with their daughters. A simple day of errands turns into something magical between them and a hand-me-down green pocketbook holds the key to a delightful day.

By L. Bentley on January 29, 2004

Fantastic story, amazing illustrations. My daughters and I have both loved this book from the first time that we read it. The story is sweet and you just want this little girl's day to last forever. A must read, over and over.

5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely enchanting
By Dallas Mom on July 11, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is my favorite book to give as a little girl birthday present (although my son loves it too). You never see it at bookstores---i learned about it from a Five in a Row homeschooling booklist. This story just resonates with a child's heart. What little one doesn't love a day of special attention and big girl errands with a parent? All the little goodies she collects along the way and the special time with mom---love, love, love! Add in Felicia Bond's thoughtful illustrations and you can't beat it. Definitely one of our favorites and a real treasure.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat and captivating story!
By Joy on December 10, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I love this book and so does my daughter. She completely identified with this character. My daughter is a purse-oholic. She must have at least a dozen of random purses and bags. The story is well written and can be enjoyed over and over.
