Review

We used Tuttle Twins book 3 as part of our home school lesson about banking, inflation and the rise of prices. My 7 year old especially appreciated the purple creature from Jekyll Island illustrated in bright colors. The older children were amazed to learn that the ridges on coins are used to prevent others from taking shavings off the side and using the metal to make more money. Our family took turns reading aloud which was the one suggestion we might make, it was a but long to digest in one read. Overall, I am pleased with the principles of liberty they absorbed and their understanding of how big government and too much lawmaking can interfere with future generations. We are fans of the Tuttle Twins series and recommend them as helpful tools for all ages.
