One entertaining children’s book series that will counter official narratives

I was listening to Episode 2612 of the Tom Woods Show featuring Connor Boyack. The episode was entitled How to Evade the College Brainwashers, and it was one I listened to that made me wish I was back in school.

During my latter days in high school, that comprised me gazing out the window and daydreaming about my next workout as opposed to listening to whatever it was the teacher droned about, I, like most people my age, had my sights set on college. Yeah, I was somehow operating under the illusion that the 2009-10 school year would be more valuable to me than anything high school offered.

I was wrong, of course, and paid about as much attention in college as I did in high school. The only difference was that I graduated with a 3.6 GPA since Wellness and Fitness came rather easily to me. Well, I worked as a personal trainer between 2012 and 2018, so go figure.

Anyway, the subject of this episode talked about Praxis, and I was blown away by Boyack and Woods’ discussion. Yeah, Tom just has that unique talent of always getting the right people onto his show.

Of course, Boyack is also famous for something else: Tuttle Twins, another children’s series that I’ll be digging into at some point over the next year or so. Once my current TBR list has been cleared a little, and it’ll be a while, I’ll dive right into them.

What are the Tuttle Twins, exactly?

For parents who might be concerned about what we see in some of today’s children’s literature, and I’m not getting into the details, the Tuttle Twins offers an outstanding antidote. How so? Well, just take a look at its sales page:

“Teach Your Kids the Principles of Liberty.

“The best-selling Tuttle Twins series teaches your kids how the world really works and the economic and civic truths they deserve to know.

“Finally, your whole family can enjoy fun, engaging, freedom-based stories that counter the media narrative and political agendas.

“When your child grasps the principles of freedom, entrepreneurship, and personal responsibility, they become unstoppable forces for good.”

As an author myself whose fiction is also centered around libertarian principles, it’s always great to come across someone who’s already carved out a bit of a path in the niche.

One reason I started The Libertarian Book Reviewer to begin with was to showcase works like the Tuttle Twins to my own audience, in hopes they’ll introduce the work to youngsters who will get something of real-world value from the books.

Currently, Boyack has books out there for toddlers, kids, and teens, so your child could grow up learning about the principles of liberty even before they learn how to read. It’s something I’d like to see more of in today’s world when progressivism continues to dominate the landscape in literature.

Oh, and if you’re a parent who would like a refresher or to just get introduced to a new outlook on, say, American history, Boyack has you covered as well with bundles that go over the subject.

Taking it to official narratives one book at a time

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that my work tends to be geared toward the young/new adult reader and I have little to no experience writing books for children and early teens. This was another reason behind my mission to create a TBR list for 2025 (and probably seeping into 2026) centered around children’s books and those appropriate for kids 12 and under.

Thanks for reading The Libertarian Book Reviewer! This post is public so feel free to share it.

Connor Boyack made this one easy for me, given the gargantuan selection his website offers. Since these books are geared for younger audiences and will be considerably lighter reads, my plan’s to go through each of them quicker than I would some of the longer, darker, reads I’m usually attracted to.

That said, you’ll see more reviews here and fewer breakdowns, which is something I’ve been doing lately with E.E. Holmes’ Gateway Trilogy. So, in the coming months, often as a much-needed break from those darker reads, prepare yourself for the Tuttle Twins.

Here are the books that I plan on going through

The Tuttle Twins Learn About The Law

The Tuttle Twins and the Miraculous Pencil

The Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island

The Tuttle Twins and the Food Truck Fiasco

The Tuttle Twins and the Road to Surfdom

The Tuttle Twins and the Golden Rule

The Tuttle Twins and the Search for Atlas

The Tuttle Twins and their Spectacular Show Business

The Tuttle Twins and the Fate of the Future

The Tuttle Twins and the Education Vacation

The Tuttle Twins and the Messed Up Market

The Tuttle Twins and the Leviathan Crisis

The Tuttle Twins and the 12 Rules Bootcamp

The Tuttle Twins and the Medals of Merit

Like I said, this one will take a minute, especially since I have a steampunk dystopian novel to read, plus Spirit Ascendency, and other books geared toward youngsters. But, I’ve also been speeding through a few reads lately, and once my own upcoming work, Cursed Mage, is released, it’ll be on to reverting to regular content. Can’t wait!
