It's Story Time with Michele! I hope you enjoy reading along with me. Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse is likely to be familiar to many of you since it came out 20 years ago and has been read by many children and families since then. Also, Kevin Henkes is the author of so many wonderful, best-selling books, that I'm sure you're as big a fan of his work as I am. 🐭This story is about a little mouse who is in love with school. One day she decides to take some things to school with her which turn out to be a distraction for her classmates. She has a tough day, but learns so much about cooperation, patience, and about learning from her mistakes. These are great lessons for us all, no matter our age, but particularly wonderful for our younger ones just beginning to go to school. 🐭In the end, Lilly still wants to be a teacher when she grows up...among many other things! What do you want to be when you grow up? Visit my Facebook Book Club page and let me know. I love reading messages from all of you! 🐭"Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse" was written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes.

I am very passionate about the importance of literacy. Did you know that 25 million children in the US cannot read proficiently? I have always loved reading books and I work hard to nurture that same love in young children. By sharing stories aloud I hope your kids will be encouraged to read more books and become little bookworms as they grow up! These stories are meant for anyone wanting a sweet, soothing story read to them - who doesn't enjoy that?! On this read aloud channel you will find stories, read by Michele Lepe, for kids of all ages: early readers, kindergarteners, pre-schoolers, etc. This channel is filled with bedtime stories and interactive read along videos. I hope you will notice that I do my best to display all of the words on each page so that you are able to actually read along with me! I also link to relevant literacy activities for preschoolers via my Pinterest boards in each video description. Many of you know me as Nina from the GoodNight Show so on my channel you will also find some clips of the time I spent as Nina and Star on the Good Night Show on Sprout (aka PBS Kids Sprout and UniversalKids)! 🐭Connect with me: Facebook: www.facebook.com/michelelepe1 Instagram: www.instagram.com/michelelepe Twitter: www.twitter.com/michelelepe 🐭Music: www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music
