Jennifer Truman ，

A great little book for teaching money skills to toddlers。

Madison ，

Picture book about making informed choices when you spend your money。 Part of a collection， including save， gift， spend， and earn。

Aarvik ，

It is Aarvik’s second book on spending。 And he seems to know about spending as he’s 4 now。 He talks about making choices。

Sonny Bunny decides what to spend his allowance on。Sonny wants all the toys， but he only receives three carrots per week as an allowance。 With the help of his mother， he decides what to buy with his money。This book introduces young readers to the concept of spending and help teach financial literacy。 It also contains the moral that you can’t have everything you want。Disclosure: Dolly Parton was kind enough to send our family this book through her Imagination Library Foundation。

This is a fun little story to teach your child about making choices in how to spend money。

This was a really cute book that introduces money and decision making。 It is an introduction to teaching kids that you can't just buy everything， you have to make a decision sometimes。 The illustrations are very cute， and I think this book has a great introduction to how money works。 This was a really cute book that introduces money and decision making。 It is an introduction to teaching kids that you can't just buy everything， you have to make a decision sometimes。 The illustrations are very cute， and I think this book has a great introduction to how money works。 。。。more

So adorable and a really good intro to the idea of opportunity cost and the value of money vs the things you want。

Summary: This picture book is about a bunny who is learning the value of money。 He wants to buy all kinds of toys but he doesn't have enough money so his mom teaches him to save some money and he can spend the rest on a toy。Analysis: This is a very simple book to read and understand。 The pictures really help get the point across of how much money things are worth and I think it will really help kids understand money。How I would use this in my class: I would use this book in my class during a mon Summary: This picture book is about a bunny who is learning the value of money。 He wants to buy all kinds of toys but he doesn't have enough money so his mom teaches him to save some money and he can spend the rest on a toy。Analysis: This is a very simple book to read and understand。 The pictures really help get the point across of how much money things are worth and I think it will really help kids understand money。How I would use this in my class: I would use this book in my class during a money unit to help my kids understand the importance of saving and spending。 。。。more

Sonny wants EVERYTHING。 But he only gets 3 carrots per week for his allowance。 That means he has to do something very hard。。。he has to decide which thing he wants most to spend his money on。Decisions are hard， even when you aren't a little bunny with only 3 carrots to your name。 Another book in this series covers saving， so I believe that's why the author didn't have Sonny even consider the item he wants that costs 100 carrots after he learns how much it costs （Sonny is also a very believable li Sonny wants EVERYTHING。 But he only gets 3 carrots per week for his allowance。 That means he has to do something very hard。。。he has to decide which thing he wants most to spend his money on。Decisions are hard， even when you aren't a little bunny with only 3 carrots to your name。 Another book in this series covers saving， so I believe that's why the author didn't have Sonny even consider the item he wants that costs 100 carrots after he learns how much it costs （Sonny is also a very believable little kid）。 A good discussion starter about how to spend money and whittle down the choices。 I really like this entire series and how it introduces important money concepts to littles。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

“Making a choice helps you see what’s really important to you。”Sunny wants to spend his allowance on everything！ But he doesn’t have enough money for everything。 “I don’t want to think！ I want to spend！” Sunny’s mother shows him that you have to make intelligent choices about spending。Another good， simple financial literacy book。

Great for helping students understand decision making and budgeting。 It talks about allowance and what we all want， but what do we have to spend？ Something that isn't often talked about at a young age through literature。 I appreciate it。 Also， the use of carrots as currency for rabbits。 Great for helping students understand decision making and budgeting。 It talks about allowance and what we all want， but what do we have to spend？ Something that isn't often talked about at a young age through literature。 I appreciate it。 Also， the use of carrots as currency for rabbits。 。。。more

I bought Spend it！ to mail to a nephew。 My 15 year-old son and his friends spotted it on our kitchen counter and were drawn in by the illustrations， so I mocked a “story time” while they cleared out my kitchen cabinets。 They loved this book！ The conversation that ensued included sharing that four tops can be purchased at Value Village for the price of one at Garage （in the mall） and that one could buy 2，500 cans of Peace Tea during school lunch break at the local Safeway for what my son paid for I bought Spend it！ to mail to a nephew。 My 15 year-old son and his friends spotted it on our kitchen counter and were drawn in by the illustrations， so I mocked a “story time” while they cleared out my kitchen cabinets。 They loved this book！ The conversation that ensued included sharing that four tops can be purchased at Value Village for the price of one at Garage （in the mall） and that one could buy 2，500 cans of Peace Tea during school lunch break at the local Safeway for what my son paid for his bike。 I know for certain they all stopped to think and it prompted a great convo。 I have a book geared to teens and finances that by boys haven’t cracked open once。 Funny that the bunny managed to slip past the dignity-door-bouncer and packed a punch with some spendthrift teens。 Since I have ordered Earn it！ and Save it！ They are all winners with the teens。 I love that the books present concepts that the teens can run with it on their own accord。 。。。more

Like me， many parents have realized that it is important to introduce money concepts and financial planning to our children at their early ages。 This book is an easy and fun start to the long journey of teaching children how to spend money and how to plan for the future。 Young readers will be able to accept the concepts smoothly because they are encouraged to consider the problems and make choices together with the cute little bunny。 You might also want to check out other books in the McLeod’s M Like me， many parents have realized that it is important to introduce money concepts and financial planning to our children at their early ages。 This book is an easy and fun start to the long journey of teaching children how to spend money and how to plan for the future。 Young readers will be able to accept the concepts smoothly because they are encouraged to consider the problems and make choices together with the cute little bunny。 You might also want to check out other books in the McLeod’s Moneybunny series。 。。。more

Spend It！’s concept can be related to many different age groups。 I thought it was a cute book but the story sounded short and choppy。 I also thought that it didn’t have a very good flow to read aloud。 I might use this book in a small group setting for beginners in math and money management。 This way the kids can have a visual about numbers and money。 However， I do not think I would use this for a group read aloud。

Making spending choices is hard！ Sonny is looking through his allowance jar and comparing it to all that he wants to buy。 Should he continue to save his three carrots until he has 100 carrots to buy the big item he wants？ Or should he buy something smaller with his three carrots？ In the end， he makes a choice that was just right for him。 What a great way for children to think about their own financial decisions！ The illustrations were drawn with HB pencil on Mylar film and then digitally colored Making spending choices is hard！ Sonny is looking through his allowance jar and comparing it to all that he wants to buy。 Should he continue to save his three carrots until he has 100 carrots to buy the big item he wants？ Or should he buy something smaller with his three carrots？ In the end， he makes a choice that was just right for him。 What a great way for children to think about their own financial decisions！ The illustrations were drawn with HB pencil on Mylar film and then digitally colored。For more children's literature， middle grade literature， and YA literature reviews， feel free to visit my personal blog at The Miller Memo！ 。。。more

Super cute idea， but they really missed an opportunity to talk about saving money。 I believe another book in the series is about saving。 We will definitely read them as our kids get older。

Summary: The book titled Spend It！ by Cinders McLeod is about a young bunny who wants to buy everything。 He wants to buy a pogo stick， a toy rocket and a bouncy castle。 The toy rocket costs two carrots， the pogo stick costs 3 carrots and the Bouncy Castle costs 100 carrots。 The only problem is he only has three carrots。 The bunny has to learn to make a choice because he obviously cannot buy everything。 The bunny ends up buying the pogo stick because he cannot buy the bouncy castle because he has Summary: The book titled Spend It！ by Cinders McLeod is about a young bunny who wants to buy everything。 He wants to buy a pogo stick， a toy rocket and a bouncy castle。 The toy rocket costs two carrots， the pogo stick costs 3 carrots and the Bouncy Castle costs 100 carrots。 The only problem is he only has three carrots。 The bunny has to learn to make a choice because he obviously cannot buy everything。 The bunny ends up buying the pogo stick because he cannot buy the bouncy castle because he hasn't made enough carrots for that and he doesn't buy the toy rocket because he already has enough toys。 The book ends with the bunny being happy about his decision of buying the pogo stick。 Review: I personally thought that this book was absolutely adorable and can teach us all a good lesson on how to spend our money。 The illustrations in this book were probably some of the best that I have seen so far in reading any of the children books because of how adorable they are。 All in all I thought that this book was very informative and entertaining for any young kid who wants to learn how to spend their money。 I also thought that it was a very cute touch to add carrots as the way that they spend money， that is considered their money。 Connections to Profession: You could use this book as away to introduce to your students of how to make choices and how to save or spend your money。 Making choices is something that is not easy so letting kids know that and telling them that making choices is not easy and really hard is a good way for them to realize that you have to earn your money and you cannot actually buy everything in the world。 This puts a lot of things into realization for kids on money。 。。。more
