I love these Tuttle Twins books!
Tonight we read The Tuttle Twins and The Creature From Jekyll Island. It's based on a book by G. Edward Griffin. I've not read that book, but I now need to thanks to the Tuttle Twins book.
Before reading it to my son, since I've not read anything from Griffin, I decided to look up some quotes and found this:
Score!
Maybe the concepts of fiat currency and central banks are a bit over a kindergartner's head, but he enjoyed the time we spent together. He was convinced the central bankers in the book were zombies that took all the money. How perfect:
Then he wanted to look like a scary creature that kept printing and inflating money. How perfect with the example of the Zimbabwean dollar. What a goober:

Melissa (my wife) got a great chuckle when the book described Grandpa Tuttle getting ready to explain how bad governments and central banks are. Idk why. I only do the same thing like five times a day.
They even talked about crypto as a medium of exchange! I was stoked to see that.
Overall, he and I both loved it. But it was a bit over Sam's head. Maybe in a year, but I'm glad I exposed him to it at least. Next time we'll read The Tuttle Twins and The Miraculous Pencil!
Thanks for reading, I hope you get an idea if you want to read them to your kiddos. I recommend them highly.
