What Tuttle Twins book should I start with?

[00:00] I'm Conor boyak author of The Tuttle

[00:02] twins books and you've got a question

[00:03] what book should I start with I've got

[00:06] your answer now at the time of recording

[00:09] this video we have 12 books in our

[00:11] children's series we're about to publish

[00:13] a third team then we'll keep doing 14

[00:15] and 15 and Beyond but a lot of times

[00:17] people who are new to us come and say

[00:19] well what book should I start with now

[00:21] I'm going to be talking only about our

[00:23] children's series that I have here we

[00:24] also have books for toddlers we have two

[00:26] series of books for teenagers we've got

[00:29] curriculum and a game and all kinds of

[00:31] stuff you can find everything over at

[00:32] tuttletwins.com

[00:34] products now if you're wondering about

[00:37] this children's series which is what

[00:38] we're best known for a lot of people ask

[00:40] us what book they should start with now

[00:42] you'll see in the top right of the books

[00:44] we publish the number the order that

[00:46] this was published so this was our first

[00:48] book then we have our second book here

[00:49] the miraculous pencil and so on all the

[00:52] way through sometimes people will email

[00:54] us and they'll say so do I have to read

[00:56] them in that order or is it best to read

[00:58] them in that order the short answer is

[00:59] no these books are all independent of

[01:01] one another there's no big story arc

[01:03] that's going from beginning to end

[01:05] that's helping children kind of

[01:06] continuously learn the books can all be

[01:09] read interchangeably however I would say

[01:11] that it would be a good idea to start

[01:13] with the first why because since this

[01:16] was our first book in the series this is

[01:19] where we introduce Ethan and Emily as

[01:21] characters in the teletrends book and so

[01:23] as you open up the the first page it

[01:25] says oh here's Ethan and Emily and

[01:27] here's a little bit about who they are

[01:29] and you know then they go to school and

[01:31] they're starting to learn this stuff so

[01:33] it's just a very light and quick

[01:34] introduction into who they are the rest

[01:36] of the books just presume that the kids

[01:38] reading the books already know who even

[01:40] and Emily are but we provide such little

[01:43] background or introduction in this book

[01:46] that if you wanted to just buy it you

[01:49] know another book let's say you only

[01:50] want to buy one total twins book and

[01:51] let's imagine that fate of the future

[01:54] caught your eye it's totally okay to

[01:56] start with this book because it's just

[01:58] going to jump right in and start talking

[01:59] about Ethan and Emily but it's not like

[02:02] you're going to be missing out on a ton

[02:03] of introductory stuff from the book one

[02:05] that would in any way inhibit your kids

[02:07] from Gaining everything that they need

[02:10] to from this story so if you only have

[02:12] the budget for a handful of books and

[02:14] others in the series catch your eye or

[02:16] if you want to just dip your toe in the

[02:17] water and start with one book before you

[02:19] invest in the whole series totally fine

[02:21] just know that it's not necessarily

[02:24] required that you read these in any

[02:25] particular order you don't necessarily

[02:27] need to start with the original or the

[02:29] first book although most people do this

[02:32] is the book that got the whole thing

[02:33] started this is what lightly introduces

[02:35] the twins it's you know because it's our

[02:38] oldest book it's our best-selling book

[02:39] we've sold the most copies of it but

[02:41] you're not required to start with that

[02:43] book you can do anything else now I will

[02:44] say if you are looking to just do one or

[02:48] a few books you may want to reconsider

[02:50] and here's why I am very interested in

[02:52] making sure that we spread these books

[02:55] and these ideas as widely as possible

[02:57] because I know having done this for

[02:59] years and having gotten countless emails

[03:01] and texts and tweets and all the things

[03:03] from parents I know that the ideas in

[03:05] this book series are tremendously

[03:07] powerful in helping kids have these

[03:09] light bulb aha moments about these

[03:11] amazing ideas about how the world Works

[03:13] how Society functions what will Empower

[03:16] them to be their best selves and be

[03:18] well-rounded functioning adults and so

[03:20] because I know these things I'm on a

[03:22] mission to make sure as many families as

[03:23] possible get these ideas and so I'm

[03:25] incentivized to make sure that families

[03:27] like yours get all of the books rather

[03:30] than just one or two and so what we do

[03:32] at tuttletwins.com is we provide this

[03:35] whole children's book series at a

[03:38] massive discount and we throw in all the

[03:41] activity workbooks for free now all of

[03:43] these books come with a PDF activity

[03:46] workbook so if you have four kids and

[03:47] each of them want a coloring page or a

[03:49] word search or a crossword puzzle or

[03:51] whatever is in the activity workbook

[03:52] you've got the PDF you can just print

[03:54] one for all the kids rather than having

[03:56] a printed workbook where you know one

[03:58] kid fills it out and then it's basically

[04:00] ruined for the rest each of these books

[04:02] has an activity workbook we give that to

[04:04] you for free it's got a bunch of

[04:05] activities that correspond with each of

[04:07] the books in the series so that the

[04:09] lessons that your kids are learning in

[04:10] any particular book they can go get that

[04:13] idea reinforced in the activity workbook

[04:15] that they can download so we provide

[04:18] this big bundle all the books discounted

[04:21] pretty heavily and then all the activity

[04:23] workbooks for free again because my goal

[04:25] we run all this through a non-profit our

[04:27] ultimate goal is to just spread these

[04:29] books as widely as possible because

[04:30] these are powerful ideas that we want

[04:33] all the kids out there and the parents

[04:35] to be learning and so go get them on

[04:37] Amazon if you want you're going to pay

[04:39] more maybe you do a book maybe do three

[04:40] books but if you're looking to just jump

[04:42] in the deep end have these maybe

[04:44] birthday gifts you know share with

[04:46] neighbors or just have them all for your

[04:48] kids for your family have a set we want

[04:50] you to go to tuttletwins.com because

[04:52] we're going to push you to get the whole

[04:53] bundle again Big Discount freebies as

[04:56] well because we'd love for you to invest

[04:57] in the whole set because that each of

[04:59] these books have totally different ideas

[05:00] and so like let's say you get just the

[05:03] first book to try it out well you know

[05:05] what about the book all about

[05:06] entrepreneurship you know if you as your

[05:08] kid ever wanted to do a lemonade stand

[05:09] you know set up a little business plan

[05:11] understand how business works right or

[05:13] maybe you guys go to food trucks your

[05:15] family loves food trucks and you want to

[05:16] understand business and competition and

[05:18] why it's so powerful so you're going to

[05:20] be missing out on these different ideas

[05:22] that each of the different books talks

[05:24] about if you only invest in you know one

[05:26] or a handful of books that's why we try

[05:28] and push everyone to get the whole set

[05:29] because we want their kids to get

[05:31] exposed to all the Amazing Ideas in the

[05:33] different books so start with whatever

[05:35] book you want you don't have to read

[05:37] them in any particular order but we

[05:38] suggest getting the whole series in on

[05:40] your kids can go from beginning to end

[05:42] and then trust me they're going to

[05:43] reread it countless times they're going

[05:46] to become well worn well-loved books

[05:48] you're probably going to eventually buy

[05:50] a second set and donate the other ones

[05:52] to a library or some something that's
