Accidental Lily

Lily #3

by Sally Warner

Lily Hill is finally getting used to living in Philadelphia with her mother and older brother, Case.  She's made friends with two of the most popular girls in her first grade--LaVon and Daisy--and she's been invited to LaVon's birthday/Halloween sleep-over party!  But Lily has a teensy-weensy little bed-wetting problem (Shhhhh!) and she's afraid if she goes to the party, her friends might find out and tell everyone at school.  Just when everything seems to be going wrong, Lily discovers that she's not the only kid in her class with this teensy-weensy problem.  With some helpful suggestions from her mom and Case, Lily finds a way to go to the sleep-over and keep her little accidents to herself.  In her third story starring the spirited Lily Hill, Sally Warner tackles a sensitive subject with understanding, insight, and humor.

Reviews

[Nancy Kotkin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Children's chapter book series about a child adjusting to a host of new circumstances: moving from the suburbs to the city, starting at a new school, downsizing from a house into a small apartment, the absence of her father, and her stay-at-home mother taking a job. Protagonist is only six years old, a bit young for a chapter book.

In this book, Lily and her family deal with her bed-wetting accidents. While her mother and brother find a way for her to attend her friend's sleep-over party, there is no definitive resolution to Lily's bed-wetting issue.

I've always wanted to try this little chapter book series. This one is about 6 year old Lily having bed wetting issues. She is invited to her friend's sleepover and she has to decide if she wants to take the risk of wetting the bed. Her voice is pretty well done, and she seems realistic for a 6 year old. A nice starter series for children reading beginning chapter books.

This book is about a little girl named Lily. She has a problem when it comes to sleeping. She wets the bed ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Lily is a little girl who wets the bed almost every single night. Her brother tells her to drink water (instead of lemonade), and her friend told her that she needs to start crossing her legs when she goes to sleep. They are giving her this "great" advice, so that when she goes to one of the biggest sleepovers EVER, she won't have an accident. But when she gets to the sleepover...

See what Accidental Lily has in store for you, and I am not talking about the book (wink, wink)! I would recommend this book for kids ages: 5 - 9. You will laugh throughout the whole story of Accidental Lily. Enjoy!

This book was about a little girl named Lily who has a little problem when she goes to bed. She is very scared to let everybody in school knows that she wets her bed. Her brother Case tells her not to drink water and her friend, Daisy tells her to sleep on her back with her legs crossed. In this book, Lily is invited to her friend, LaVon's party and she wants to go but she is scared that she might have another accident. I learned not to be embarassed because everyone had that problem before.
