SPEND IT!

Cinders McLeod

A charming and hilarious introduction to simple money concepts in which a bunny must learn he can't buy everything he wants with his allowance!
Sonny gets three whole carrots a week for his allowance and wants to buy everything with it! But he soon discovers his money won't go that far, and his mom tells him he needs to make some choices. That doesn't sound like much fun to Sonny, especially when he learns that the bouncy castle he's been eyeing goes for ONE HUNDRED carrots. Ridiculous! But eventually, after a little math and a little more thinking, he has a blast discovering what's really important to him and worth spending his carrots on.

A supercritical lesson is learned: consider how and what you spend your money on. The lesson goes down smoothly because it presents options for ways to satisfy the urge to spend--it also helps that Sonny is cute as a you-know-what. Financial planning never looked so good.

Bright, energetic illustrations... A welcome story about smart spending.
