The Tuttle Twins Learn About the Law

By: Connor Boyack

Narrated by: Nancy Peterson

Length: 19 mins

Publisher's Summary

Children are often taught that government protects our life, liberty, and property, but could it be true that some laws actually allow people to hurt us and take are things? Join Ethan and Emily Tuttle as they learn about property, pirates, and plunder. With the help of their neighbor Fred, the twins will need to figure out what they can do to stop the bad guys in the government. Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) was a French political economist and classical liberal who wrote The Law, upon which this book is based. Through engaging dialogue, young listeners will be led to understand the principles of liberty and the proper role of government.

Create for kids and adults too

Our nation is drowning in debt. At the same time countless people want more. Listen to this simple book to gain wisdom regarding this situation and our best options for the future.

Easy for kids to understand

This was easy enough for my 1st grader to understand. It kept his interest throughout the duration. My preschooler was not at all interested, though. I could see it keeping the interest of any elementary school aged child. Just wish it were longer. It is pretty basic, but my son still had questions about the government, etc. these things were mentioned in the story, but not expanded upon.

storyline good, narration done poorly

Storyline, important, understandable, enjoyable
Narration, badly done pauses & voicing
We'll look at our library.

Great values!

The Law is a simple book that explains timeless values (some that have been lost). I would recommend this book for any child ages 7-9. I will be buying the paperback version for sure. As I imagine that the illustrations will be enjoyable for my son!

a good primer before tackling the real thing

listened to it with my daughter. heard something about a book by Frédéric Bastiat I may look this book up for further reading I suggest all adults do.

very fun way to learn 👍😁😊

I love this it was a great story. so fun to learn about the law now I understand more things.

Good Moral of the Story but the Price?!

This was not worth the $16 I pay each month. Perhaps three or four books for that price I can stomach.

Great for kids

This was a great story to teach kids about the governmental laws and natural law. My kids loved it!

Love it

This is a great adaptation of an all time classic. I can't wait for more from the series.

Great concept, lacks real storytelling

The twins interview their neighbor, and he answers their questions. There's no real story here. I like the message, but it reads like propaganda. My 5 year old liked the book somewhat, but he clearly wasn't thrilled. Kids want to feel something when they listen to a book. They want to take a journey. They want characters who struggle and learn from their experiences. The twins learn by politely asking questions and taking notes. That's not very engaging. It is a little weird. Still, it does successfully get its points across. I applaud the author and illustrator for their effort, because the subject matter is both worthwhile and underrepresented in children's literature.
