School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 1-Thrifty she's 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 (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review
Honey Bunny spends her money on herself and her loved ones. This pointless exercise in obvious rhymes (""She spent a buck / and got a truck!"") strives to impart good values by noting at book's end that Honey ""still has money / left to save,"" but given her extravagances readers won't see how. Bollen's droll cartoony art is wasted here. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted. All rights reserved.
Booklist Review
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 Copyright 2005 Booklist
