It's never too early to teach your little bunny some simple facts about money!

KIRKUS REVIEW OF THE LATEST IN THE SERIES: GIVE IT!

Another young resident of Bunnyland learns a lesson about money.

Chummy’s grandmother gives him 10 carrots for his birthday (carrots, of course, being currency in Bunnyland) along with a piece of advice: “Spend some on yourself, dear, and some on helping others.” Chummy has the perfect plan. He will buy a superhero costume and “save the world!” In bright blue overalls, using a twig for a sword, Chummy is ready to slay dragons, soaring through the air in his imagination. Gran wonders if maybe he should reconsider. After all, there aren’t many dragons in Bunnyland. How else could he help? Gran, teetering on a ladder while picking apples on the farm, suggests helping the bumblebees. Chummy mulls over his options, laid out graphically by McLeod: If he spends all 10 carrots on the costume, he will have no carrots left to help the bees. But if he buys only the cape, he will still have 5carrots left to purchase some flowers. Or, if he doesn’t buy anything at all for himself, he would have 10 whole carrots for the bees. It is a tough decision. Young financial analysts will certainly have an opinion while reading and weighing the choices, making this a solid jumping-off point for discussions about charitable giving.

A sweet tale about the path to generosity. (Picture book. 3-7)
