We've enjoyed so many Tuttle Twins books over the years, that it's high time I collected mine & other's reviews all in one place, so you can get a feel for the series.
The Tuttle Twins books cover economics and government with an emphasis on "the time-tested principles of a free society," which includes free-market principles and principles of individual freedom. My kids pull these books off our shelves and re-read them frequently, and I'm amazed at how much they've absorbed. My kids are learning and thinking deeply about subjects that public school never taught me: the Tuttle Twins fills a much-needed niche!
If you sign up for their newsletter or follow their Facebook page, they tend to have sales when new books come out. Books can be purchased with an audio version and workbooks.
I started reviewing these books for a magazine, and I love them so much that I became an affiliate salesperson, because I think every family should have them. If you visit my associate sales link, anything you purchase there in the next 21 days gets counted for me: https://tuttletwins.com/1776?ap_id=michelleristuccia
First up, we have the Tuttle Twins' collection of picture books for ages 5-11. Caffy Duffy's Review calls it "an outstanding series of 11 books that teaches important concepts about economics, government, and personal responsibility through child-friendly stories."
Cathy Duffy Review of the series.
My review of Show Business.
My review of Road to Surfdom.
My review of Food Truck Fiasco.
The Law, Review by Gail at Learning Tangent, where I reviewed other Tuttle Twins books.
Each book is inspired by classic books that delve into the same topics. "Education Vacation" inspired my kids to read the original "The Underground History of American Education" by John Taylor Gatto!
Next up, for teens! All the teen books are newer, so I'm having trouble finding reviews for you. Maybe I should get cracking with writing my own reviews. Whoops! In the meantime, this review of their podcast for kids should give you an idea of what types of themes their books cover.
Who doesn't love a good choose your own adventure book?
We just ordered the newest books for preteens and up:
There is also a card game, and several non-fiction e-books for parents. Keep your eye out for the bundles, which often include audio, workbooks, and related nonfiction e-books. Enjoy!
