Lilly's Secret

I am now 15, but nine years ago when I was only six years old and in first grade, Lilly's Secret was my favorite book. I remember getting so excited to read it every night, and bringing it to class to copy the pictures with my best friend. We would draw these adorable cats for hours on end. I still read it sometimes, it is the best thing I can do to cheer myself up! The story and pictures are so sweet, whenever I see them I smile. I would definitely recommend this book to kids, especially any kitty-loving girls like me.

I work in the children's section of the local library, and as a result I have seen countless picture books and easy readers circulate hundreds of times. One work that is rarely on the shelf, though, is Lilly's Secret. What makes this book so different?One of the most difficult tasks for finding a book for a child is getting one that both entertains and teaches. Lilly's Secret, with its adorable characters and vivid drawings, captures every child's attention. Its lesson of acceptance is both simple to comprehend and yet a powerful message. It's also succinct, which fits the unfortunately far too short attention span of today's youth.I highly recommend Lilly's Secret, every child should read it at least once.

My daughter loves this book. The pictures are well done. But most of all this book has a great story and message. It really encourages the reader to like people for who they are. I would recomend this for any 1-2nd grader....
