Save It!

　　小兔子哈妮每個禮拜照顧弟弟妹妹們的工作報酬是兩根胡蘿蔔，但她的五個兄弟姊妹實在太吵了，她希望能買一個大房子住，讓自己耳根子清靜一會兒。不過爸爸說，買房子對小小的她來說太困難了，不如降低目標買一個遊戲屋吧。爸爸說，一個遊戲屋需要十根胡蘿蔔（胡蘿蔔是Honey住的地方Bunnyland的貨幣），所以她要花五個禮拜才能存到這筆錢。

　　於是，哈妮開始了她的儲蓄計畫。儲蓄意味著要有耐心和紀律，還要犧牲一兩次吃大餐的機會，不過作者McLeod在這裡引進了一個小小的概念：每個禮拜節省薪水的一部分，儘管這樣儲蓄的速度比較慢，但就能同時擁有儲蓄但也不失去吃大餐的機會，讓儲蓄變得比較不痛苦！

　　《Save It！》是Cinders McLeod暢銷系列作《Spend It！》、《Earn It！》的第三本作品，透過有趣的故事，啟蒙孩子對於儲蓄的意識，並在閱讀過程中給予孩子正確的金錢觀念，讓孩子從小建立正確的金錢觀與價值觀，培養正向的財富觀念。
