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.

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.

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.

reply

That's excellent. Are they fairly well known?

reply

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

reply

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

reply

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

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

reply

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.

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
