Win a set of three Clever Tykes Story Books

“Willow loves dogs and enjoys walking her big shaggy pet, Stomp. When Miss Snippet asks for her help, Willow realises that she can turn doing what she loves into a great way to earn money and help others. Willow soon puts her skills into action, but when she makes a mistake she faces some tough decisions. How will she put things right, and whatever will Mr Moore say?”

Clever Tykes, a series of three storybooks for primary school children has been bringing positive entrepreneurial role models to the classrooms of over 50 schools across the UK, and is now available for the home.

The stories follow three separate protagonists as they each realise that there is something they are especially good at or passionate about, and they set about making this into their own venture. Included in the series is Walk-It Willow, a girl who loves dogs and turns her passion into a service for neighbours; Code-It Cody, a computer whizz-kid who gets a chance to create a computer game of his very own and Change-It Cho, who is determined that healthy eating and exercise should be for everyone.

The Clever Tykes entrepreneurial messages are subtle, whilst numerous valuable life skills important to learning and development, such as innovation, independence, goal-setting, hard work and resourcefulness are promoted. Fantastic reading books in their own right, the Clever Tykes stories also incorporate the target literacy and numeracy skills for the specific Key Stage two age-range.

“Clever Tykes storybooks aim to introduce important life skills to young children through positive entrepreneurial role models”, commented founder Ben Cook. “We’re passionate about raising aspirations in children everywhere through enterprise education, and we want to make sure that children, whatever their background, believe in themselves and excel in whichever career path they choose”, he added.

Children are inspired by characters they know: their parents; teachers; the people they meet and the people they see on TV or read about. Clever Tykes is passionate about using stories to promote important skills and characteristics in children as they grow-up, and to give young kids the opportunity to be inspired and empowered to believe that they can go on to have a successful career that they love.

Clever Tykes (RRP £7.99 each or complete series of three stories for £19.99) are available to purchase from www.clevertykes.com and are also available from Amazon and Waterstones.

We were sent the three books to review and although they are aimed at age 8 and above, Isaac was keen to give them a try. I have to admit that he did struggle a little as he is not a big reader, so we have put them away and will try again in a few months time, but as a parent I love the message and the encouragement of our young entrepreneurs.

Thanks to the Clever Tykes team, I have a set of the three books to giveaway.
