Magic tree house for the win!

I don't remember ever reading the magic treehouse series as a child, but when I looked up easy chapter books for young readers, this series seemed to be a popular one. I'm sad I was not introduced sooner! Upon starting this book, my 7 year old was all in! It's a great series. We are currently on book 5 and plan to read them all. The characters go on thrilling adventures with every book. The plots of their journeys are detailed with engaging facts sprinkled throughout. I would highly recommend this series to anyone who has a young reader looking for a captivating series!

Dinosaurs Before Dark

My five year old son loved this book so much that after I finished reading it to him, he carried the book around with him for days. The story line catches the young person's attention quickly, and holds the attention from chapter to chapter. The suspense about what will happen to Jack in the dinosaur chase is just enough fear to keep the attention, but not so much that they want you to stop reading. When we finished one chapter he wanted to go straight to the next chapter. He was asking any grown up, even his big brother to read to him. If you have a child who you need to peek their interest in reading, this is a great book to start with.

Great intro to chapter books

I bought this book for my 4 year old who is wild about dinosaurs. He loves being read to and needed something a little more advanced than picture books. This book was a great start because the subject matter was something he was interested in, he could easily comprehend what was being read, and it could be finished in one sitting. There were enough pictures in the book to maintain his interest.After reading this book, we have embarked on a new Magic Tree House adventure a day. My son looks forward to this time so much. Thank goodness the books are at the library! The books can be read by a parent in about a 30 minute sitting. I recorded Dinosaurs Before Dark on tape for my son to listen to any time since it is his favorite of the series so far.Also to extend the reading activity at home, we created a Cretaceous period dinosaur diorama. My son loves acting out the story with his own dinosaurs...

It's very cool!

The book is about a boy and a girl that found a tree house. Itis magic and takes them to places like this one, when they went toprehistoric times. My favorite part was when they were riding on a teradactyl. I am seven and a half years old.

A great family bedtime book.

This book was recommended as a good read for our 8 year old who does not enjoy reading. We found this to be an interesting book that reads fast and keeps you hanging onto each word wondering what will happen next. All four of our children enjoyed this book (ages 4 1/2,6,8,and 12). We had to go out and get several other Magic Treehouse books. We can't wait to see where Annie and Jack go next.
