Bunny Money

This is a great story, my 3 year old has already asked to read it several times since getting the book yesterday. I was disappointed because it was listed as "Like New" but the book had torn pages and there was something smeared on the cover. I cleaned it up and taped the pages.

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.

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 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!!

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 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.
