Reviews

[Gabrielle]

Every girl remembers what it's like to see mommy have a big purse and have tons of stuff inside of it. When I was younger I used to want to carry my moms purse to feel like a big kid. My moms purse was the most interesting thing, because she always had so much inside. This book is about all of the contents inside a little girls first purse. The interactive pieces are what makes this book so great. As I read this book, I felt like I was looking inside of my little sisters purse. The contents of the "purse" reminded me of things I would play with as a little girl going through my mothers purse. My First Purse is a perfect book for all younger girls who enjoy playing dress up, acting like mommy, and being her little helper. This is a fun, interactive book that will spark and interest in reading for little girls. I would recommend this book for mothers and daughters.
