The Big Green Pocketbook
Reviewed by Sherry Early
he Big Green Pocketbook is the story of a little girl whose big green pocketbook is empty. She can’t think of anything to put in it at home, but when the girl and her mother go to town on the bus, she collects many items to store in her big green pocketbook: a bus ticket, a lollipop, a keychain, a sample calendar, some crayons, and more. Now her pocketbook is full of treasures. The author describes each place that the mother and the little girl visit during the course of their morning errands with simple, but evocative text. However, as the girl and her mother arrive home after a long morning in the city, the story takes a critical turn. Nevertheless, all ends well with some help from a friendly bus driver.
