Little Trot Series
25 April 2026

Money (Children's&YA)

Series: Little Trot

This delightful adventure introduces young readers to the important concept of saving money in a fun and engaging way.

The book can be read independently or shared with an adult who can help explain key words such as saving (see below for a full list of vocabulary). Even children who cannot yet read will enjoy following the story through the colourful and expressive illustrations.

Little Trot lives in a small house in Toy Town with his friend, Wise Old Stump. Together, they grow vegetables in their garden and take them to market each week to sell. When Little Trot discovers that his seeds cost $10 and his vegetables sell for $50, he is delighted to learn about making a profit.

With dreams of buying a beautiful yellow, red, and blue car, Little Trot wonders how he can keep his money safe. On Wise Old Stump's advice, he visits the Toy Town Trust Bank and meets Foxy the banker, who promises to look after his savings and even pay a little interest.

But all is not as it seems...

Foxy lends the money to a group of lazy goblins, who spend it all on sweets, toys, and treats-with no intention of paying it back.

Will Little Trot's money be safe? And will he ever be able to afford his dream car?

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.
