Summary: A wordless picture book in which a girl sees a bicycle she wants to buy, works hard for a kindly neighbor to earn the money for it, then gets a pleasant surprise.

Review: This is one of the few wordless picture books I enjoyed. I like the clear message it sends to kids of earning money to get something you really, really want. We see the character doing all sorts of chores so she can one day go to the bike store and purchase her bike after all her hard work. The surprise twist at the end and simplistic illustrations adds emotion to this wordless story.
