The Tuttle Twins and the Miraculous Pencil

These books go right along with the show. We love them.

This book, also a book series and online animated TV show illustrated the economics of how a pencil is made and distributed. A great resource for elementary kids. They also include downloadable activities that go along with the book

Purchased for my 10 year old grandson, he has enjoyed the series and enjoys discussing what he’s learned in the books.

My daughter read this in one day and said she LOVED IT. Now she's talking to me about the story & concepts in the book. And she's asked me to buy more! Would recommend!

The book shipped quickly and was perfect condition. The story was well written as in the description and held interest but was more of an educational type of storybook than expected.

Great book to teach children about economics

A really good primer on economics that I will definitely use in future lessons! I would definitely recommend it for teachers.

I can't remember how I stumbled upon this book, but decided to buy it for my kids. It is much better than expected. The book gently introduces complexity and interconnectedness in an economy, how things just magically happen (Hayekian Spontaneous Order), and how it benefits everyone by allowing people from different nations and religions, who might otherwise hate each other, to cooperate (reminded me of Voltaire's comment on the London Stock Exchange in 1734). The book doesn't go into the hubris and folly of central planning, which is perhaps a topic that parents could introduce to kids as part of reading this book. The illustrations were fantastic, the characters were relatable. The glossary was a bit heavy and advanced for a young child, but it will help parents of precocious children who want to learn more. On a snarky note, there are socialist Economics Ph.D.s (I'm looking at you, Kshama Sawant!) who should be reading this book to unlearn whatever nonsense they studied in grad school.
