The story follows Baxter Bunny and Hazel Hedgehog, who learn valuable lessons about saving, investing, and managing risks from a group of wise elders in the forest. This engaging tale is perfect for teaching young readers about the importance of financial planning in a fun and relatable way.
Thanks for reading my review!

I share the thoughts of fellow reviewers. It is concerning that school curricula often overlook essential skills that children truly need to learn. Basic life skills, financial literacy, personal hygiene, self-defense, and sustainable living are critical. I am pleased to see that these topics are beginning to make their way into children's worlds in this way. Thank you for the great review!
