by Kimberly Wilson (Author), Mark Hoffmann (Illustrator)
Goldie is the new card on the block, the diva who's ready to shop 'til she drops and always foots the bill for her friends.
When Penny, Bill, and the rest of the cash crew map their travel plans, Goldie won't accept any penny-pinching. On her dime everything's an upgrade: a road trip becomes a fancy flight, a packed picnic turns into decadent doughnuts, and birdwatching gets replaced by a full-blown safari. Despite her friends' warnings, it's not long before Goldie starts to feel spent. Without the dough to back up her pile of purchases, Goldie's heading toward a total swipe-out. She'll have to take charge and pay for her mistakes if she wants to earn back her place in the wallet--and the trust of her friends. Readers of all ages will love this playful, punny introduction to credit cards as they follow Goldie's journey toward swiping smartly and discovering that there are some things money just can't buy.Author Biography
Kimberly Wilson is the author of A Penny's Worth, A Dollar's Grand Dream, and A Credit Card Takes Charge. She drew inspiration for her latest book, Piggy Bank Saves the Day, from her childhood experiences saving for a pet lizard, a doll, and even a piccolo! She learned quickly that it takes patience, but saving always pays off. Kimberly and her family currently live in Charlotte, NC, one of the largest banking cities in the nation.
Mark Hoffmann thinks piggy banks are cool, but he'd prefer to have a real piggy instead, even though they don't hold money and are much stinkier. In addition to illustrating children's books, Mark also works as a college professor. He lives in Salem, New Hampshire.
