Summary: There are no written words, but this is a great book about hard work and determination to get a green bicycle Little Girl saw in a store window. She realizes she does not have enough money saved to buy the bike—she checks for loose change all around the house, sells her toys, but still does not have enough money for the bike. She decides she will have to earn the money and begins working for her neighbor raking leaves and doing odd jobs. She eventually accumulates enough to purchase the bike and rushes to the store only to find that it has been sold. This not the ending. There is of course a happy surprise.
Review: This is a story of generosity and selflessness, a touching story with a great message. It is a wordless book, but the sketches more than depict the story and are sufficient to convey the message. I enjoyed it very much. This would be a perfect book for any child in grades K through third.
