I had no idea that this series of children's books existed. Have any stackers given these to their kids? I wonder how effective they would be. This volume is particularly intriguing. Makes me wish I had young kids around.

Surprised this is new to you. Yeah, my kids read some of them. Very good stuff. Highly recommend

My kids are not kids now. I will add that their stuff is good for adults too. If they are less apt to read a long book. Very well done.

I can't believe you hadn't heard of the Tuttle Twins. We haven't started reading them yet but I'm sure we will soon.

reply

I never did. So I guess they have been around for a while?

reply

Yeah, I want to say they go back to the Ron Paul Revolution days.

Tom Woods had the authors on his show a bunch of times and they have a popular YouTube cartoon.

I'm sure their bitcoin video has been shared on SN before.

I totally missed the boat.

My wife is actually doing the Tuttle twins American history curriculum with our two oldest (7&9) right now. Before a two week winter break, they just finished their presentation on the glorious revolution as background to the American revolution.

There’s a cartoon that’s based on the Tuttle twins characters that was our gateway drug, and we found out about that because they did a Bitcoin episode. To this day, I would argue that any kid over the age of five that has seen that episode has a better understanding of Bitcoin than the average adult American.

That's excellent. Are they fairly well known?

well known with people round here in TX I'd say!

I know they’re always bragging about how cnn does these features on how bad they are, so they’re turning someone’s head.

I'm pretty convinced I would have never been fooled as I was in my youth had this existed. Instead I got the standard US history which is full of lies and half truths.

reply

Oh, yeah! My kids enjoy them. They did a Bitcoin episode that was really quite good!

I even did a review of it on SN: #213136
