Spend It!

Narrator Johnny Heller's youthful voice is a good match for young Sonny Rabbit, the featured character in a story that teaches kids how to handle money. When Sonny is faced with the decision of choosing how to spend his allowance of three carrots, not every one of his wants can be fulfilled. Heller matter-of-factly narrates the story's short sentences at a fast clip. As Sonny, he is emphatic about his love of Saturdays and his desire to buy everything he thinks of. Heller's uses an adult voice as Mother Rabbit encourages her youngster to think about what is REALLY important. She heaps praise upon her "smart spender" as he "boings" off to the store to make his happy purchase. An afterword provides information about the Moneybunny books.
