He wanted the whistle more than anything. So he decided to earn it.
When Tomanji falls in love with a little carved whistle at the harvest market, he can't save for it in time and has nothing to trade. So the wise old owl gives him a brand-new idea: if you want something new, make something and sell it. Soon Tomanji is baking acorn-and-honey treats - gathering, mixing, burning a batch, and worrying himself silly that no one will buy a single one.
But when the whole wood lines up and his very last treat is sold, Tomanji holds exactly enough coins for his whistle at last... and makes a surprising choice. Because once you know how much something is really worth, you might find the coins in your paw - and everything it took to earn them - are the real treasure.
A warm, funny read-aloud about earning, hard work, and the quiet magic of being happy with what you have.
- A cosy, laugh-out-loud harvest story for ages 3-7
- Gently teaches earning, entrepreneurship, and the value of money - through story, never a lecture
- Introduces Mabel the woodcarver to the Whispering Wood friends
- Includes a Note for Grown-Ups, talking points, and a free My Little Sale activity
- Book 4 of the Expedition Money Adventures
Now that I know how much a whistle is really worth... I think I'll keep my coins.
