Just wanted to share a positive review of the Tuttle Twins books.
I had seen and heard the ads for a long time and was interested, but skeptical.
I impulsed bought the first volume history book some months back, but didn't get around to cracking it open until a couple of weeks ago. At first, I thought the storyline of being told through the twin characters eyes was going to be too cheesy and a turn off.
Turns out, its really well done. It adds enough of an over arching story of normal kids to keep my son interested and the meat of the history is far better than any history class I have ever had, including college.
My son really likes it - we read short sessions three times a day most days. And I hear him applying what he is learning to news he overhears.
My wife overheard us reading it last night and wants to read it when we are done.
If you have kids at home or grandkids and haven't already looked into them, check them out.
