Product Description:
Meet six little handbag friends—Harry, Hopspot, Binky, Balloon-Bird, Semolina, and Loud Milly—as they go an adventure, rescue lots of baby handbags from the horrible Clasp (move over Cruella De Vil), and find a new home inside Princess’s pink handbag.
With warm, utterly charming illustrations by Sue Heap and the inimitable voice of Sally Lloyd-Jones, the Handbag Friends are set to take the children’s book world by storm!

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1BGCQ5HUKM86W Handbag FriendsThe Handbag Friend movie clip! Gives you a sense of the fun and laughter and joy packed inside this adventure storybook--and how children up to 6 or 7 once they see it, just can't stop watching it, singing the song and wanting to hear or read the story.

The story opens with the Handbag Song which I would be happy to sing for you but I think the Handbag Friends themselves would do a better job. Please watch it here.. but be warned its been stuck in my head since I watched this! I'm actually considering naming my puppy Pinky Winky Winky Woo after hearing this!! *laugh*
Handbag Friends is filled with silliness, sparkles, and all things pink! For any of you girls out there that has experienced a five year old girl full of sugar and on a glitter high you know exactly what I mean.
The story takes place Far Far Away where all the ladies in the land adopt baby pink handbags to carry around all their things. Then one day an evil meanie handbag, Clasp, pursenaps all the handbags and keeps them captive on the once happy (and very pink) Planet Pink Handbag. This leaves the Handbag friends homeless and very sad, so off they go on a mission to rescue the baby pink handbags!
This leaves me to my favorite part of the story and Connor will demonstrate for us :
"I'm going to eat you... with my MOUTH!" See Connor's rendition of the bad evil gross purple handbag trying to eat the handbag friends!
I'm not going to tell you what happens but I will tell you the entire story leaves you wanting more. That is if you love sparkles, pink, moon horses, pink, fairy cakes, and silly songs!
I really really really really truely positively absoultely must have a Moon Horse of my very own.. Sally & Sue wherever you found them can you please bring me one? Please pretty sparkles ponies please?
This would be the perfect present for any little girl in your life (or even big little girls like me!). The people at the grocery store already think I'm completely insane as I was caught singing the Handbag song all over the store. *shrug*

This lovely book does double duty as both a picture book with vibrant illustrations, and a story book with 64 pages and several chapters. You can read it in one sitting to an older child, or break it up over several readings with a younger one.
Handbag Friends looks like a handbag on the outside (complete with sturdy carrying handle that will stand up to a 4 year-old's attentions), but opens up to a wide panorama of colorful illustrations on the inside.
Follow the six distinct, lovable animal characters (the handbag friends) on their journey through fanciful locations (planet pink handbag and the place of dangerful terribleness, to name only two) as they save the world and find out where handbags really come from. A treat for the imagination! Comic and ironic references make this book as fun for the adult reader as the child he/she reads to.
Note: Don't let the book's pink colour fool you! It is just as appropriate for boys as for girls. One of the Handbag Friends, Harry, is "strong and cool, and brave," and he saves the day with his decisive leadership.
Rated by buyers -
No girl I know...especially those under 10. My two-year-old granddaughter was immediately captivated by the book and wanted it read to her every night at bedtime. It's got everything...cute characters, a not-too-scarey villain, and a singalong theme song even the most muscially challenged can manage. What fun to carry it with you, too, in its chic packaging! A winner.

Here's another winner that isn't appropriate for library lending, but is perfect for parents with kids. The 'handbag friends' live in a handbag, and this handbag-shaped book explores their lives and how they came to live inside a handbag. Enter Plant Pink Handbag, where baby handbags are kidnapped and the world is very different. Reluctant young readers will find in this an encouraging, different kind (and shape) of storybook, complete with pink plastic tote handle.
