Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1–Thrifty shes not, but no one is more generous than Honey Bunny. After gathering lots and lots of cash in her piggy bank, she goes on a shopping spree–first buying a few items for herself, then acquiring gifts for her friends and family. She purchases a chair for the bear, a trunk for the skunk, And oh, what luck/for the duck!/She spent a buck/and got a truck!. Believe it or not, when she is done, she still has some money left to save. With its light and bouncy text and colorful and humorous cartoons, this book is a fun choice. The rhyming words and picture clues make it easy to decipher. Sure to be a winner among first-time readers.–Anne Knickerbocker, formerly at Cedar Brook Elementary School, Houston, TX

From Booklist

PreS-K. With lots of money in her piggy bank, Honey Bunny likes to count it and save more, but she also likes to shop--for herself and for her many friends. "She buys a wig for the pig. / She buys a coat for the goat." Preschoolers will enjoy the simple, funny rhyme and the pictures of the huge-eared rabbit, the blissful bear in his chair, the skunk in a trunk, and more. Part of the Bright and Early easy reading series, this book is a sweet fantasy about a small child with power--the power to be generous. Hazel Rochman

This review is from: Money, Money, Honey Bunny! (Bright & Early Books(R)) (Hardcover)

This book was not what I wanted to teach children about saving money. This book would be better used for an activity on rhyming words.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT about judicious money management!, February 18, 2008

This review is from: Money, Money, Honey Bunny! (Bright & Early Books(R)) (Hardcover)

Although this book is very cute, it does not teach money management In a way that my children (ages 2-5) can grasp. On the first page or two, Honey Bunny receives money from a few sources, then proceeds to spend and spend and spend and spend until the very last page, in which she magically still has money left to save. So although the book does -mention- the word savings, it presents it in a context of "spend as much as you want, and there will be plenty left over later."

This review is from: Money, Money, Honey Bunny! (Bright & Early Books(R)) (Hardcover)

Bought book b/c reviews looked like it would be a nice story to teach value of money. Story is about a bunny that spends all her money on a treat for her then her family and friends. Did not really give the point I had noped. Cute rhymes that the kids like but I had different expectations. Oh well.
