Wow, I really love this Tuttle Twins series. The author pulls no punches and goes straight for the truth. In this book the twins learn all about money, trade and the federal reserve. Told in such a way that even a young child could understand, the author delves into the economy and how the government controls everything with inflation.
I highly recommend this book, along with the other two in the series. They teach subjects that every child should know, but in today's world, are often pushed to t ...more

Child read in conjunction with workbook. We will be covering The Beast from Jekyll Island in the near future followed by a field trip to Jekyll Island.
Basically, just a children's book on cherry-picked examples in order to further indoctrinate children to mindless right-wing extremist views. Sad that anyone would do this to their children.
So it used to be that a Barenaked Ladies concert was the whitest thing out there... then these monstrosities came out.... Made by an author who clearly didn't even read Smith, or Jefferson, or any of their apparent influences... it's social studies for wealthy white kids to help make a new generation of tax evaders... delightful...

recently read this to a 5 year old at his request. very insightful, simple, elegant, explaining complex issue like hard vs fiat currency and the Federal Reserve in a way that even a kid can understand. Heck, this book could easily educate half the adults I know! So glad this series is out there, its a genius idea and brilliantly executed. Cant wait to be around more kids so I have an excuse to check out the rest of the books lol....
We love the Tuttle Twins series. A great way to introduce complicated principles in a format easy enough for kids to understand. In this book, we learn about the (secret) creation of the Federal Reserve bank, how it effects the flow of money in our country, and increases or decreases its worth. I highly recommend this book!
I don't feel this story was balanced. Yes, the government created the Federal Reserve, but many players (government, business) affect pricing, not just government. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first two.
This presents the topic of the federal reserve and inflation in an easy to understand way. Kids who read this will have more of an understanding of the federal reserve than I think most Americans have.
Clear communication of ideas. I will see what my 10 year old thinks about these as I finish the series.
A little heavy-handed on the libertarian side of the gold standard issue.
Great way to start a discussion about inflation with your kids!
Great kids version of a book most American's should read. Opened up some good conversations with the little ones!
It is a good start to invoke learning about where money was created and how it is printed.
Good read for the kids to teach what can be difficult principles about proper governance.
The Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island makes it easy for young children to learn about money. I like the way the Tuttle family explain everything to the twins. At the end of the book there is a glossary and also discussion questions to ask the children. My favorite thing about this book are the illustrations, they go so perfect with the story. I give this book 4 stars.

Understanding what central banking does to currency is vitally important to making sound money decisions. The Tuttle Twins and the Creature from Jekyll Island will help young and old alike understand. The story is both, entertaining and educational.
A must read for everyone!
