I am a huge advocate of the entrepreneurial messages and characteristics that you are driving. I think it is a fantastic idea to instil the idea of entrepreneurship into children from a young age. This is a great way to open children up to the idea of not always following conventional paths and giving them the belief and confidence to pursue their own creative business ideas.
The Clever Tykes series are such a wonderful way to introduce ‘enterprise’ to children from a young age – I can’t recommend them highly enough, and strongly urge parents to read along with their child as there is no doubt the stories will stimulate lots of questions and interest!
I found Walk-it Willow easy to read and full of lovely messages that children can take from it. It touched on taking responsibility, problem solving, admitting mistakes and also the work it takes to run a small business. Willow is entertaining but very human. A lovely story.

Another great title from Clever Tykes – I recommend reading all three!

Brilliant idea!
Children learn and get inspired by people around them, whether they’re physically there and real like parents, teachers and friends or fictional characters from TV, films and books. Using stories like these to promote important life skills and characteristics in children and giving them the inspiration and empowerment they need to believe in themselves and their future is such a brilliant idea. The next generation will be a very entrepreneurial one!

Personally I think these books are fantastic. Eva’s attitude has changed since reading the books. She has started putting a lot more effort into everything. Challenges no longer end in tears since Eva read the Clever Tykes books. Eva is stopping to think of ways she can solve problems rather than getting upset & feeling defeated. Definitely a sign the books have helped instil positive enterprising behaviour.
Eva read the Clever Tykes Change It Cho book first and quickly flew through it with plenty of smiles! Once she had read it I asked Eva what she thought. She really enjoyed the book and reading how Cho decides to change how much junk food kids eat. Cho starts raising awareness but faces several challenges along the way. Eva said her favourite part in the book is when Cho stands up in assembly in front of other children to tell them about healthy eating.

This book links brilliantly well with the idea of Growth Mindset and perseverance. Cho doesn’t give up, even when things don’t go to plan and adults talk down to her for being a child. She stops and takes the time to think about what she could do differently to achieve her goals. This sparked some excellent discussions with children telling me about goals they would like to achieve and what their plan is to achieve them.
This one was definitely a hit, the children liked seeing a strong, female lead who put her mind to something and achieved her goals and it linked perfectly with our discussions on healthy eating in science and the start of our monthly mile.

Cho is an inspiration! Important topics covered here, healthy eating, confidence and how to make a real difference. Go Cho!

I think these books have given the boys a real boost with their confidence. Riley doesn’t struggle as much but Leo can become quite easily defeated by things and tends to give up when challenged. The way the characters in the books tackle the problems they face is fantastic and helps children to understand they can find different ways of doing things and to keep trying.
Both boys were full of their own ideas when reading the books – giving me things that they thought they could do, ideas on computer games they would like to invent and Riley enjoyed telling me about his current topic at school which was healthy eating when we read Change It Cho.

The books are designed to inspire positive and effective behavioural changes, so they are the perfect educational read for children who have a desire to learn.
We read them for several weeks and a particular favourite was Cho! The behavioural changes were small but definitely noticeable. Firstly, we loved reading time more than before and I found that a lot more questions were being asked regarding important topics. This series of books is definitely valuable to children 8+, and it has made my job as a parent, educator and role model a lot easier.

My twin daughters are seven, so they fit right in the middle of the age range for the Clever Tykes books. My daughters are shy and reserved and sometimes find it difficult to speak to people when in unfamiliar surroundings, despite being extremely chatty at home. This is why I particularly liked these books, as they are empowering and enable children to believe in themselves. They are also an early introduction to self employment and encourage children to build skills and make choices which will stand them in good stead for the future.
My girls loved Walk-it Willow and quickly progressed onto the next. They loved Change-it Cho and it linked nicely in with the topic of “food” they are studying at school. It also reinforced the reasons why I’m always encouraging them to eat their fruit and veg!
I would definitely recommend any of these enterprising books from Clever Tykes and I’m sure they will remain a favourite of my girls for the next few years.
