The Little Trot
Book Series

Little Trot lives in Toy Town and dreams of buying a shiny new car. He grows vegetables and sells them at the market, earning his first profits. But when he trusts the wrong banker — and the lazy goblins spend all his savings on sweets — he learns the most important lesson of all: where you keep your money matters just as much as how hard you earn it.

With the guidance of his trusted friend Wise Old Stump, Little Trot visits the Toy Town Trust Bank and meets Foxy the banker. But is his money truly safe?

Little Trot is saving his coins in his piggy bank, dreaming of a lovely blue tablet. But something strange is happening in Toy Town — prices keep going up!

Unknown to anyone, the Mayor of Toy Town, Mr Ronald Trumpet, visits the Meddlesome Reserve Bank run by Geronimo Prowl the owl and borrows more and more money — turning on the printing press again and again. One day, Little Trot gets a shock: the tablet costs far more than before.

Wise Old Stump explains the secret of inflation — and gives Trot the key advice he needs to fight back.

Little Trot sets his sights on buying a bigger home — but how can he make his savings grow faster? Wise Old Stump introduces him to the thrilling and sometimes unpredictable world of the Toy Town Stock Exchange.

From shares and dividends to the dramatic crash of Tusk Rockets, Little Trot learns the golden rule: never put all your eggs in one basket. He discovers how to build a diversified portfolio and why patience is the investor's greatest tool.

Every page is a conversation starter — and by the end, both you and your child will understand stocks better than most adults.

When news of a gold rush reaches Toy Town, everyone packs their bags and rushes to the mountains — including Little Trot! But as the rain pours down and the digging gets harder, he soon discovers that following the crowd isn't always the smartest path to success.

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

It turns out these are the same lessons the adults in the room are still learning today — which is exactly what makes reading this together so special.

Little Trot has been saving carefully, and Wise Old Stump thinks it is time for a new adventure: buying real estate! Together they find a dusty little cottage, fix it up until the blue door shines, and hammer a FOR RENT sign into the grass. Little Trot is officially a landlord!

But when three green goblins arrive wanting to move in, Trot quickly learns that owning property isn't just about collecting rent. The goblins eat lollipops all day, throw rubbish on the lawn, break the windows — and when rent day comes around, they've spent every last coin on sweets!

With Wise Old Stump's steady guidance, Little Trot must learn to handle difficult tenants, understand why contracts matter, and discover what it truly takes to protect an investment.
