This was an adorable picture book. It is the story of Lilly, a mouse, who has dreamed of bring a flower girl. When she finds out her teacher is getting married, she is asked to be the flower girl's assistant. Originally crushed, she ends up thoroughly enjoying her responsibility and becomes friends with the flower girl. This book had colorful pictures and the topic really caught my interest. It doesn't seem to me like there are many books out there about little girls wanting to be flower girls. Although this is not typical of all girls when they're children, I think it would appeal to those who do have that dream. Henkes placed the text in a unique way on each page. Whether it was lines separated and placed all over the page, or just a simple paragraph, the text caught my eye and focused my attention more on the story line. Overall this unique children's book was cute and I really enjoyed reading it!
