Three lines, one world. The same characters grow with the reader — picture books first, then books a child reads alone.
Read aloud. Big pictures, few words, one idea per book.
Ambit loves finding coins, but his messy pile behind the bookshelf can’t tell him how much he has. With help from Atlas the map and Penny the piggy bank, he learns to count, save, and keep his treasure safe and sound.
Buy on Amazon →Penny’s key has gone missing, and Ambit’s dream hat is still out of reach. When the key turns up in the hands of Ruby, a pirate octopus who loves treasure, Ambit has to decide how to make things right without taking away what makes Ruby happy. A story about honesty, what counts as treasure, and the good feeling of a fair trade.
Penny is full! On a rainy night, Ambit rides across the yard in Peppe’s truck to a real bank, where Judy the sea turtle banker writes his name in a passbook of his very own. A story about the difference between a friend who counts your coins and a bank that writes them down.
More Ambit adventures are on the way: earning, giving, and more.
The step after the picture books — longer, read alone, and the place where the ideas get their mechanism rather than just their feeling.
Early chapter books for ages 6–9. Bigger adventures, real chapters, and more money lessons with Ambit, Atlas, Penny and friends.
Coloring and activity books that go alongside the stories.
Ambit hid coins all over the house. Twenty-one big pages to color: meet Ambit, Atlas and Penny, hunt for coins in six rooms, solve a maze, count the coins and fill the jar.
Printed on one side only, so markers can’t bleed through to the page behind. And there’s a page with nothing on it but a piggy bank and one question — what are you saving for?
Buy on Amazon →A passbook of your own to fill in. Add up your coins, stamp each deposit, and watch your savings grow, just like Ambit’s.
