Cute! Max and Ruby go shopping for their Grandma's birthday, but are disappointed when their dream gift costs $100. They do not have much money and Max keeps wasting it. (Food, trip to the laundromat, bus fare, etc.) They manage to buy two "great" presents~ from Ruby, singing bluebird earrings, from Max glow in the dark vampire teeth. But their money is all used up. So Grandma picks them up and she wears the gifts all they way home.
It is a math lesson because they show how much money they have before and after the buy. (Like they have eight dollars, they spend two dollars, they have six left.)

I think this is one of the better Max and Ruby books, along with Bunny Cakes and Bunny Party. Has play money on the end pages that you can photocopy and cut out for your kids to play with. Neat concept and fun to discuss who the "famous rabbits" on the different bills are supposed to be.

We are 2nd graders. Our names are Dominque, James, and Casey. We have been reading books by Rosemary Wells. Our favorite book is BUNNY MONEY. Dominque liked the part when Grandma was wearing the teeth and the earrings. Dominque felt good and wishes he could have money like that. James liked the part when Ruby had to take Max to the wash. It was funny to see cherry syrup all over Max! Casey liked the part when Ruby told Max to take her to the store to get candy and she was messy.

I am a second grader. My name is Anthony L. I have been reading a lot of books by Rosemary Wells in my classroom, and BUNNY MONEY is my favorite book. Grandma put the earrings and the vampire teeth on and she looked funny!!

I chose this book for my child's kindergarten teacher's library! She has been teaching them about money, and this is a great excercise for them to "spend" the money along with Max and Ruby.

Laughing out loud! Who says this is for ages 4-7? The picture of grandma with the vampire teeth had me in hysterics. These are very intelligent--even deep-- stories, but the pictures are incredible. My daughter will have to teach *me* how to share.

A cute story about kids and shopping...and the things that can go wrong! Includes pages that you can copy so your child can have "bunny money". Very cute.

In the book Bunny Money by Rosemary Wells, bunnies Max and Ruby are trying to buy their grandmother a present for her birthday. Max and Ruby spend a lot of money. Will they be able to get what they want? Find out in Bunny Money. I really like Bunny Money because the book shows how much money the bunnies have.

As always, Rosemary Wells has tackled a topic that is often confusing for kids, and explained it with wit and heart. Charming!

As usual there's a lesson to be learned for both bunnies in this charming book by Rosemary Wells. Ruby as usual has the role of Damage Control agent as Max gets into more situations that require them to spend their precious dollars before they can even think of getting Gma's birthday gift.

It also spurred the development of a board game that builds on the whole idea of getting, earning, and spending money and learning bits of trivia about famous people. We loved them both.
