The Story
Two bulldog siblings. One spends it all. One saves for tomorrow.
What happens when a young bulldog spends all his money on fancy things and forgets to save for a rainy day?
Battery and his sister Brenda each receive a magic money tree from Mama Bulldog. Brenda is sensible: she waters her tree, spends the money carefully, and saves for the future. But Battery? He buys a fancy house, a fancy car, and throws the fanciest parties in all of Bulldog Land!
When his worried sister reminds him to save, Battery just laughs. After all, with a magic money tree, the money will never run out...right?
Then one terrible day, a storm washes Battery's money tree away. Without any savings, he loses everything. The worst thing a bulldog can do is run out of money! Luckily, Battery has someone he can count on: his smart, sensible sister who saved for precisely this kind of situation.
Through charming bulldog siblings and money lessons kids can relate to, Battery the Bulldog and the Funny Money Tree proves that living a "regular" life with sensible habits is the real treasure.
