The Tuttle Twins Reviews

My order arrived a few days earlier than I was expecting, which was a nice surprise. Everything seemed to be packed well, and the tracking worked fine for me. I didn’t really run into any issues with the delivery

I like the idea behind these books, and a few of them worked well for my older child. My younger one, though, lost interest in some parts and seemed a little confused. I’m particular about making sure books match my kids’ ages and attention levels, so I wish that had been clearer before I bought them. They did give us some good topics to talk about at home, which I appreciated, but overall it felt a little hit or miss depending on the child.

I ordered from Tuttle Twins thinking it might be a fun, easy way to talk to my kids about real-life stuff, but wow, it felt way more one-sided than I expected. Instead of helping them ask questions and think things through, it came off like some little know-it-all lecturer telling them exactly what to believe.

There were a few parts that were fine, but overall it felt preachy and heavy-handed. My kids got bored fast, i felt kind of weird reading it with them. Not the vibe I was hoping for at all.

I picked these up for my kids because I thought they’d be a good way to talk about money and a little bit of history, but it just didn’t really land for us. It started out okay, okay enough that I thought maybe it would be useful, but then some parts felt kind of one-sided and a little preachy. My kids got bored quickly, really quickly actually. I can see how it might work for some families, but for ours, it just wasn’t a great fit.

I’ve been really happy with these because my son actually asks to read them, which is a small miracle in our house. I do wish there were a few more in the set because he’s going through them quickly, but anything that keeps him reading without me having to nag is a win

I was hoping this would spark a bit more conversation with my kid, but there just wasn’t much for us to discuss. Kind of a letdown 😕

I don’t wanna be too harsh, but the art just didn’t look all that polished to me. It kind of had a cheap feel, and I couldn’t not notice it while going through it

Support did end up answering my question and fixing the issue, so I’m happy about that. I thought it was going to be sorted out the same day, or maybe I misunderstood the timing, but it ended up taking about a day longer than I was expecting. Not a huge deal, just a little slower than I hoped.

I really wanted to like this, and I can see that there are some good ideas in it. It seems like a lot of thought probably went into the materials, but actually using it day to day was harder than I expected.

The lessons didn’t feel very straightforward to follow. I kept feeling like I had to jump around, piece things together, and figure out the next step on my own, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a curriculum.
Maybe it clicks better for other families, and I wouldn’t say it’s completely without value. But for us, it ended up being more frustrating than helpful, so I don’t think it was worth the time.

The books themselves are actually good, and my kids ended up liking a few of them. But my first impression wasn’t great because the pricing and billing felt more confusing than it needed to be. I had to dig around to figure out what I was signing up for, and it ended up feeling a bit more expensive than I expected. Nothing awful happened, but it just didn’t feel very clear upfront. I might order again, but I really wish the pricing info was simpler and easier to understand from the start.

We haven’t gone through everything yet, so I can’t say for sure across the board, but the stories we’ve tried have been surprisingly good. My kids actually stay interested, and it does seem to make bigger ideas easier for them to understand.
