[ 책 소개 ]
개구장이 맥스와 항상 맥스를 돌봐주는 착한 누나 루비의 이야기입니다.
루비는 할머니의 생일선물을 사기 위해 1달러짜리 10장, 5달러짜리 1장 등 총 15달러를 저금했어요. 동생 맥스를 데리고 예쁜 뮤직박스를 사러 버스를 탔지요.(요금 1달러 지불, 잔액 14달러) 가게에 도착하자 맥스는 갈증이 난다고 칭얼대는군요. 루비는 지갑을 주면서 1달러짜리 레몬쥬스를 사서 마시라고 했지만, 맥스는 다른 가게로 가서 엉뚱하게도 빨간 체리시럽이 뚝뚝 떨어지는 드라큘라 이빨을 샀어요. (2달러 지불 잔액 12달러) 하지만 체리시럽이 맥스 옷에 떨어져서 엉망이 되는 바람에 무인 세탁소에 가서 세제를 사고, 세탁기와 건조기를 돌려야 했지요. (3달러 지불, 잔액 9달러) 이번에는 맥스가 배고프다고 칭얼대는군요. 과연 할머니 선물을 살 돈이 온전하게 남아 있을 수 있을까요?
맥스의 천진난만한 표정과 모습에 저절로 웃음이 나며, 누나 루비의 어질고 착한 마음씨에 마음이 흐믓해지는 책입니다.
책 앞면과 뒷면에는 돈으로 사용할 수 있는 가짜 지폐가 총 32달러어치 인쇄되어 있어서 가위로 오린 후 실제로 사용하면서 돈의 개념을 익힐 수 있습니다.

Book description
It's Grandma's birthday, and Ruby knows exactly what Grandma would love-a beautiful ballerina box. Max also knows what she'd love-a scary pair of ooey-gooey vampire teeth. Ruby has saved up a walletful of bills, but as unexpected mishap after mishap occurs, money starts running through the bunnies' fingers.... Will they have enough left for the perfect present? Wells' adorable story is also a fun and lively introduction to early math.
Publisher's Weekly
Those rambunctious rabbit siblings, Max and Ruby, embark on another mishap-filled adventure in Wells's typically funny new book. In a story line similar to that of Bunny Cakes, Ruby hatches a well-intentioned plan to do something nice for her grandmother. In this case, Ruby takes her little brother along to buy Grandma a dazzling birthday present. But Max has ideas of his own, which include stopping for lunch and purchasing vampire teeth "with oozing cherry syrup inside" for Grandma. By excursion's end, Ruby's wallet is empty, Max's tummy is full and Grandma receives not one but two spectacular birthday surprises. Economical sentences consistently pack a humorous punch as well as propel the action. (One quibble: the title may lead some readers to expect that the text includes factual information about currency. All Max and Ruby learn is that spending stops when the money runs out.) Wells's jolly paintings are simultaneously crisp and cozy, depicting Max and Ruby in their characteristically bright outfits, and spot illustrations of Ruby's wallet and bills allow kids to perform some simple subtraction as they read along. A set of instructions for "making money" explains how kids can photocopy the book's endpapers and construct their own bunny bucks; adults won't want to miss Wells's bunnified portraits of the real-life heroes that adorn her comic currency.
Children's Literature
Bunny Money is a very funny story about the value of money, told as only Ruby and her little brother Max can tell it. Ruby has dollars to spend on Grandma's birthday present, but she also needs to pay bus fare. Then Max wants lemonade, but buys oozing cherry vampire teeth instead. So Ruby has to pay for soap, the washer, and the dryer-and LUNCH! "'Money down the drain,' says Ruby." They finally get Grandma her present, but the only money they have left is Max's lucky quarter-just enough to call Grandma to come and get them! Comes with bunny money to cut out and pretend to spend.
School Library Journal
Take one resolute Ruby, add one sly Max, blend in a shopping trip to buy Grandmother's birthday presentand a money mix-up is sure to happen. Ruby's gift of choice is a ballerina-decorated music box, Max's is vampire teeth oozing cherry syrup. The music box proves too expensive, the teeth drool all over Max's outfit, resulting in a side trip to the laundromat, but Grandma does get two birthday presents that please her indeed. Before that happy ending, however, a lesson on the value of money cleverly unfolds. To help her young audience, Wells provides visual clues in the form of Bunny Money and invites readers to photocopy, cut out, and paste together the sheets of Bunny dollars included, which depict Max, Ruby, and a chuckle-inducing assortment of well-known figures (Julia Child, Desmond Tutu, Fred Astaire, Jane Austen, Jesse Owens) in rabbit guise. In relation to the many math picture books currently being published, this title rates up there with Stuart Murphy's "MathStart" series (HarperCollins) and Loreen Leedy's Monster Money Book (Holiday, 1992). As usual, Wells's line work is extraordinary; with seemingly minimum effortbut with maximum effectthe changing expressions on her characters' faces deftly delineate their personalities. To sum up, Wells's droll humor is right on the money.
