Ed and Bunny Book Character Competition
This is a competition to design a character that will feature in a new Ed and Bunny story. The book will be written and illustrated by Matt Carr!
The competition is open to all schools who are registered users of Money Heroes. If you’re not already a user, you can sign up below.
We would like children to design, draw and describe a new animal friend for Ed and Bunny. We encourage them to think about what they look like, their characteristics and their attitude towards money: do they like to spend, save or share? The new character must be an original and not based on any other characters.
