I Owe My Piggy Bank an Apology!: A Max Disaster Book

By Erin Hubbard

When Max finds himself in financial trouble after a string of impulsive purchases, his piggy bank demands answers. Faced with debt, IOUs, and a very disappointed pig, Max attempts to take control of his finances with the help of his goldfish, Mr. Bubbles, and a highly organized snail named Shelby. From failed business ventures to budgeting disasters, Max learns that managing money takes more than good intentions-and that apologies sometimes come with receipts.

This is the second standalone title in the Max Disaster children's book series, which combines humor, financial literacy, and social-emotional learning in an age-appropriate, highly accessible format. Designed for early elementary readers, the story promotes themes of responsibility, problem-solving, and growth through entertaining dialogue and relatable character dynamics. The book is illustrated in a colorful, 3- D cartoon-inspired style to enhance engagement and visual storytelling.
