Little Trot and the Goblin Tenants (Book 5 of the Little Trot Series) - A Toy Town Story About Renting and Property

What happens when a little boy buys a house and rents it to the laziest goblins in Toy Town?

Little Trot has been saving carefully in his pink piggy bank, 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. 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.

Every page is a conversation starter between you and your child.

In this engaging, rhyming story, children will learn:

• What it means to own real estate and be a landlord
• Why contracts and leases are important promises to keep
• How a deposit protects property from damage
• The responsibilities of paying rent and maintaining a home
• Why choosing the right people to do business with matters

Featuring 18 child-friendly financial terms — including Investment, Asset, Income, Eviction, and Maintenance — explained right on the page, Little Trot and the Goblin Tenants 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.

Join Little Trot in Book 5 of the beloved series, and discover together that a house is an investment that requires hard work, clear rules, and a careful, thinking heart!
