Schools Don't Teach These Ideas… But Now You Can
A dumbed-down curriculum leaves out economic and civic truths that your child needs to learn.
Are you doing your part to teach them?
Can’t trust most curriculum
You want to find educational resources to teach your child true principles, but where do you look? Who do you trust?
Lack confidence to teach?
Parents often doubt their knowledge of economic and civic ideas and feel incapable of explaining them to others.
Your children need these ideas
Children ought to be taught the time-tested principles of a free society to boost their ability to succeed in life.
Common questions about our Tuttle Twins products
We’re so glad you are excited about the Tuttle Twins books!
One of the more common questions we get about them is what age range they are for.
And this is kind of hard for us to answer—here’s why…
Our “sweet spot” is kids age 5-11. That’s where kids most resonate with the books, and the age where it’s most appropriate.
But…
We also have many 3- or 4-year-olds who really love the illustrations, and love the stories (when they are read to, as many can’t read at that age)—so they will gladly cuddle up with a sibling or parent and listen along.
And, interestingly, we have many pre-teens and teens enjoy the children’s books as well! The style might be too “kiddish” for them, but the content and ideas are fresh and engaging, which is why they get sucked in.
Same goes for the parents, too—literally every day we get several messages from parents saying how much they enjoyed the books and how much they learned from them.
Of course, this all applies to our children’s series—we have content for teens as well. Check out all our products here.
We typically process orders within 2-4 business days after your order is placed. (Our books are in high demand so our team works overtime!)
The tracking link for your order will be in the confirmation email you are sent after purchasing!
This link will allow you to monitor the progress of your shipment. Please note that the USPS system is not real-time; there are often cases where the status will not update for days, and then the package will arrive. So don’t get too worried if things appear to not be moving. Chances are, your package will arrive soon enough!
We’re so glad you’re interested in the Tuttle Twins books!
We ship all orders via USPS (even though we’d prefer it be privatized… for a fun research project, read about when Lysander Spooner tried to compete with the postal service because he hated their monopoly!)
During checkout, you get two options: Priority Mail and Media Mail
Priority Mail typically takes 2-3 business days to arrive once we drop it off at the post office.
Media Mail is a cheaper option designed or sending books. You’ll save some money, but note that this takes 6-10 business days on average.
Please keep in mind that the USPS often has periods where they are slower to process packages, and we are at their mercy to simply wait for the order to be sent to you!
Once your order ships, you will receive an email from Stamps.com with your tracking link which you can use to monitor the shipment progress. If you don’t see this email, check your spam folder.
Worried that you’re not sure you’ll love our books? No problem! The risk is all on our end.
We provide a no-questions-asked guarantee on the books, should you disagree with the content or find that they’re not a fit for your family.
It’s that easy. Just shoot us an email to get started.
Please note: this refund does not apply to orders where the customer added the wrong item or an undesired quantity of books to their order. We are happy to provide refunds for these books, but the customer is required to mail them back to us at the customer’s cost.
Each of our children’s books is based on an original book or essay—we take classic content and turn it into something accessible for a child.
The first book we did is based on The Law, an essay written in 1850 by a French economist named Frédéric Bastiat.
In this essay, Bastiat argues that God is the source of our rights. (A popular opinion at the time, of course.) As such, our book explains the same thing, since we stick with what the original author talked about.
Not all families agree with this, of course—so the secular families reading our books simply take the opportunity to explain that while this is a popular perspective, it’s not one that they share.
And that’s fine!
But this is the only book in the children’s series that contains any religious reference; the remaining books—see the list here—have no religious content of any kind.
The Tuttle family, upon which our series is based, is caucasian.
However, the books are filled with guest and recurring characters of various ethnicities, reflecting the beautiful blend that makes our world great!
You can see some examples of these characters in this Instagram post we did.
Our award-winning books have sold over a million copies — but we don’t want to simply let kids read the books and be done with it.
So each of our books has an Activity Workbook that goes along with it, with age-appropriate activities that your children can do to keep thinking about the ideas presented in the book.
For younger children, there are things like coloring pages, word searches, and handwriting exercises. For older kids, there are field trip ideas, writing assignments, or other projects.
The Activity Workbooks are digital PDF files that you will be able to download after purchasing. (A link will be provided on the “thank you” page after ordering, as well as in your confirmation email you receive.)
We create these as digital items since parents often want different children to do the same exercise; a printed workbook would be “single use” and thus cost more, so allowing parents to print these is the more affordable and reasonable option.
We hope you enjoy and that these Activity Workbooks help your kids better learn and continue thinking about the ideas of a free society!
Thanks for your interest in our Black Friday contest.

The books we sell are different from the economic curriculum we produce.
After publishing so many books, families still were asking us for more content, more quickly. So we recently launched the Free Market Rules curriculum, which is a weekly delivery of economic content.
Naturally, some families wonder if the material is tied to the books or if it’s all one connected curriculum.
And while the principles and ideas are harmonious, the content is independent. Here’s what we mean by that:
Our books introduce lots of economic and political ideas. They do so at a fairly high level, giving simple explanations and stories. We leave it up to the readers to dig in and learn more about whatever ideas have sparked their curiosity.
But with our curriculum, we help out by drilling down far more deeply into economic ideas. Each week, families get content about specific economic concepts — in the familiar Tuttle Twins brand, but in more depth than you get in the books.
You don’t even need to own or read any Tuttle Twins books to use and benefit from the curriculum. But we see it all as one inter-connected goal of helping kids learn the way the world works. So while we recommend getting all the content to ensure a well-rounded education, they are independent offerings you can get.

HI, I'M CONNOR
I’ve been in your shoes. So I wrote a series of books to teach your kids what their schools no longer do.
As the president of two non-profits, I’ve learned the importance of simplifying complex ideas so others can understand. And this approach works perfectly when it comes to children.
I’ve written a popular series of children’s books that helps kids age 5-11 learn the ideas of liberty. But be prepared: your dinner conversations are bound to be much more interesting!

OVER 1.5 MILLION COPIES SOLD!
Here's the Plan
A set of beautiful, enjoyable books that use storytelling to help you introduce important economic, civic, and social principles to your child.
What Makes Our Books So Different?
When it comes to teaching their children about the enduring principles of freedom, many parents don’t know where to start. The Tuttle Twins series helps you introduce these ideas to your children and have meaningful family discussions about them.
As a father, I know how hard it is to communicate big ideas to little kids. For example, how do you teach an eight-year-old boy about the free market in a way that will be relevant to him? How can a six-year-old girl understand property rights? How can your child learn about and remember the golden rule?
And more than getting them to learn about the ideas… how do you get them to actually care about them?
As the founder and president of two non-profits, and the author of 17 books, I’ve spent years trying to figure out simple and effective ways of teaching other people important principles. Along the way I came to realize something: kids can understand these ideas, too.
And so the Tuttle Twins books were born! These totally unique books help kids age 5-11 learn important truths and develop crucial critical thinking skills. 300,000+ families just like yours have benefitted from the clear messages and fun stories in these books.
More importantly, these families have been able to have some amazing conversations about big ideas—even with their little children. Get the books today and watch your child develop important critical thinking skills and insight about ideas that most adults don’t even understand.

What do the Books Teach?
What are individual rights?
In a fun adventure that involves pirates and plunder, Ethan and Emily learn about law, liberty, and limited government. Unlike any other book, this story helps children learn what individual rights are and how true laws help protect them from bad guys.
Why are free markets important?
Ethan and Emily have taken for granted the many things they use: clothes, cars, homes, backpacks—even something as simple as a pencil. On their trip to an amazing factory, the twins learn about the miracle and importance of the free market.
What is protectionism?
Teaming up with their food truck friends, the twins discover laws that create unfair advantages and protectionist policies. Ethan and Emily learn about competition as they launch a campaign to win public support and overturn the bad regulations.
Does the "golden rule" work?
Summer camp turns into a heated rivalry between competing teams, but Chief Ron helps the twins and their teammates learn the dangers of aggression, revenge, and blowback—and why peace and friendship are important principles!
Persuasion vs. coercion
In a world where dystopian fiction might seem too close to reality, Ethan and Emily learn that the fate of the future depends on thinking of ways we can work together peacefully, to build a better society without relying on coercion and the state.
Why we act the way we do
After making some money, the twins decide to loan it out to other kids like them in order to earn some interest—and in the process learn about risk, bailouts, subsidies, and what happens when their children’s market gets messed up.
Can a child be an entrepreneur?
The twins recognize an opportunity and, with the support of family and friends, navigate the exciting and tiring world of entrepreneurship! Your kids will learn the ins and outs of becoming a business owner in this inspiring installment in the series!
How does money work?
The twins learn all about bartering, inflation, and money as they uncover the mystery of how a powerful creature is stealing their grandparents’ hard-earned savings, and how they can fight back to protect the money they make in their family business!
Should the collective control us?
Unintended consequences abound as the Tuttles uncover why the new Surfdom resort is causing their favorite beach to lose public interest. Uncle Ben joins the twins to help shine some light on the collectivist and central planning problems.
Why is socialism so harmful?
In a world filled with consumers, what happens if the producers give up and leave? And how can people better practice personal responsibility and not have a sense of entitlement about the things they think they deserve? Join Ethan and Emily to find out!
What is true education?
After hearing award-winning teacher John Taylor Gatto discuss some problems with schooling and share a vision for how children are best educated, the Tuttle family decides to embark on a new learning adventure to discover true education.
