Little Trot Series
25 April 2026

Money (Children's&YA)

Series: Little Trot

The earlier children learn about money, the better their future. This beautifully illustrated rhyming adventure makes financial literacy a joy to share, perfect for parents and grandparents to read together with the young investors in their lives. The Little Trot series is perfect for home, classroom, or homeschool use. Most recommended for ages 5 to 12 (but enjoyed by any age from 3 to 103!).

Little Trot and the Great Gold Rush (Book 4) - A Toy Town Story About Gold, Opportunity and Thinking for Yourself

When news of a gold rush reaches Toy Town, everyone packs their bags and rushes to the mountains - including Little Trot! Dreaming of shiny nuggets and becoming the richest boy in town, he sets off with his trusty shovel. But as the rain pours down and the digging gets harder, Little Trot discovers that following the crowd isn't always the smartest path to success.

With Wise Old Stump's guidance and a clever idea of his own, Little Trot learns that true opportunity lies where others aren't looking. From setting up a tool stall for weary diggers to defending his savings from three mischievous goblins, his journey is packed with excitement, resilience, and lessons that last a lifetime.

In this engaging rhyming story, children will learn why thinking differently creates better opportunities than following the crowd, how hard work and patience lead to more lasting rewards than chasing quick riches, the importance of protecting savings and making smart choices and how to spot opportunity where others see only difficulty.

Featuring child-friendly financial terms including Gold, Investment, Savings, Opportunity and Value - explained right on the page - Little Trot and the Great Gold Rush turns a bedtime story into a genuine money lesson that sticks.

Give your child the gift that keeps giving - financial confidence that starts young and lasts a lifetime!

I spent 47 years in Wealth Management in Swiss Private Banks, helping clients understand money and investing. Schools don't teach children about money. They are thrust into the world and left to figure it out alone. Financial literacy is not optional - it is essential. That is why I created the Little Trot adventure series - fun, colourful books that take children from simple ideas like saving and interest, all the way to profit, investment, rent, and beyond. Perfect for parents and grandparents to read together with the young investors in their lives.
