Synopses & Reviews
The perfect preschool story about wanting what you can't have.
Betty Bunny can't understand why she is allowed to buy only one toy at the toy store, when there are so many toys that she wants so very, very much. So Betty leaves tearfully without any toys. Mom and Dad come up with a solution to help Betty choose just one toy the next time they go shopping - she gets her own money to spend on what she wants, and once it is gone, she can't have any more. But if anyone can find a loophole, Betty can! Betty Bunny proves that, once again, she is a lovable handful, and her negotiating skills will be instantly recognizable (and hilarious) to everyone with a preschooler in their lives.
