Book Review: The Tuttle Twins and the Miraculous Pencil by Connor Boyack; illustrated by Elijah Stanfield

My Review- The story is about twins Ethan and Emily who are learning about economy in school. They go on a field trip with their class to a factory to better understand this!   This book is set up to help children, and adults understand liberty and a free market economy.  At the beginning of the book the tour guide says that “nobody on earth know how to make something as little as a pencil”.  At first I thought it was crazy, but as they went through how each part of the pencil is made, and that the people, for example the lumberjacks or the rubber workers, don’t know what their efforts are creating.  The kids learn that so much goes into making just a simple pencil!

This is a great book for children to help them understand economy better.  It puts it into terms that children understand. My kid really enjoyed the book from the pictures to the story line!
