A little girl spies a lovely green bicycle in a store window. She races home to find her piggy bank doesn't have enough money. In order to make more, she works very hard by setting up a lemonade stand and even selling her possessions. When that doesn't cut it, she goes door to door asking her neighbors to do yard work. Finally having enough money, the little girl goes back to the store only to discover that the bike has been purchased. Although devastated, her hard work doesn't go unrewarded! One of my favorite things about this book was the color palette of the grey paper. It really allowed the reader to focus on the illustrations and not get caught up in color!
