There are alternative words such as 'purse', but do you know the word 'reticule'? Of course you could celebrate this day by buying a new handbag, but an even better way is to share some of these fun stories with children.
• The Queen's Handbag by Steve Antony
• Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes
• Grandma's Purse by Vanessa Brantley-Newton
• The Lady With the Alligator Purse by Nadine Bernard Westcott
• Fizz and the Handbag Dognapper by Lesley Gibbes
or you can suggest you make a bag of treasures like grandma does or Archie does in
• Archie's Bag of Treasures by Lucy Barnard
I remember when the original My Mommy's Tote and My Granny's Purse by P.H. Hanson were published and children I knew just loved taking everything out of the bags and then putting them back. Get crafty...make one of your own!
