The Purse

After spending her money on a purse, Katie is now faced with the problem of getting some money to put into it.

"Katie loves the noise her Band-Aid box full of coins makes when she rattles it. But when her older sister Marcia insists that big girls have purses, Katie uses her money to buy one. She finds, however, that an empty purse is less satisfying than a Band-Aid box full of coins; she spends the rest of this story ingeniously resolving her problem. The Purse... introduces the uses and value of money in a gently instructive fashion." -- Publishers Weekly
