Budget Bunny book helps kids learn value of money
The children’s book by Lockyer Valley author Sheila Marshall, ‘Budget Bunny Saves Money’ was officially launched by Cr Janice Holstein at the Laidley Cultural Centre on Saturday 20 June, 2009. The book is a fun story about two lovable characters, Budget Bunny and Spenda Snake who have very different ideas about money.
The book is designed for 5 to 8 year old children, with fabulous illustrations by Aaron Pocock that allows young children and proficient readers to understand the story easily. “Sheila has written a fabulous book, we are so lucky to have such talented people living in the Lockyer, I wish her every success”, said Cr Holstein. Inspiration for the book came from Sheila’s desire to see children learn the value of money and start saving at a young age so they may have a secure future. “I strongly believe that the habit of saving should be cultivated from an early age, so that it becomes a way of life.
I believe if this habit is cultivated early in life, our future adults will always have money to fall back on, and most importantly, will be able to make sensible decisions about how they spend their money”, said Sheila.
The book is a delightful story, wonderfully illustrated and will appeal to children of all ages. This particular book would make an ideal gift for any occasion as you will be helping children to understand the value of money. It costs $19.95 and is available by calling Sheila on 0439 911628.
