Summary: Terrific Tonight on the Titanic
Review: Fans of Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House series will enjoy the latest addition. Tonight on the Titanic begins a new mission for main characters, Jack and Annie. This mission requires them to travel back and visit a ship lost at sea. The magic tree house takes them back to visit the Titanic. Their adventure aboard the sinking ship is full of suspense and action. The story is not only interesting but also informational. Facts on the ill-fated ship are worked into the story. However, this is done in a very natural manner. Children will not feel as if they are receiving a lecture. Illustrations add to the story by showing the reader what is happening to Jack and Annie. The information presented and the style in which it is written is very appropriate for primary and elementary students. The language used is very rich. However, it would not be too difficult for young children. Students who like to follow characters will certainly enjoy reading about Jack and Annie in their latest adventure. All in all, Tonight on the Titanic is an excellent easy chapter book for beginning readers.

Summary: Tonight on the Titanic
Review: I was delighted reading this book because even though it was about history it amused me. It had a lot of details about the Titanic. For example it sunk at 2:20. I recommend this book if your looking for simple reading.
Jack and Annie have to help people from the past. When you read this book you feel like you're in their journey on the Titanic. I even thought they were going to get stuck on a sinking ship. It's amazing how a book can frighten me. I can't wait to read the other books in this series!

Summary: A great book to get young readers hooked on chapter books.
Review: Imagine! having a magic tree house in your backyard that is filled with books that with a touch can take you anywhere you wish to go. These elements and more are part of Mary Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House series, marvelous transitional picture books for primary students. Jack and Annie, the story's protagonists, are summoned to the tree house in the middle of a stormy night. They climb the rope ladder and in a corner Annie's flashlight shines on a terrier puppy. Lying on the floor is a note from MorganLaFaye, a magical librarian from the time of King Arthur, who tells the children that this dog is under a spell and needs their help. They must gather four special things to break the spell. The first is a gift from a ship lost at sea. Teddy, the terrier pup, brings a book entitled,The Unsinkable Ship, to the children. With a touch of the front cover, the adventure begins. Children enjoy books in a series. This book encourages children to begin reading chapter books with confidence. The text is divided into short chapters with interesting titles. There are frequent black and white illustrations that integrate well with the text. The book is filled with adventure and suspense a great combination for a "hooker book" for elementary children. (6-9)

Summary: love it
Review: In this installment of the Magic Treehouse series, Jack and Annie travel back to the fateful night The Titanic sank. A reverant and tactful depiction of the tragedy yet suspenseful and exciting as well. An excellent history lesson for primary school age children. I myself learned things about the Titanic I did not know. At the end of the book are several facts about the Titanic and changes that were made after its sinking to prevent further tragedy.

Summary: Great fun and educational
Review: My seven year old loves reading these books over and over again. While she is enjoying the books, she is learning about different places and times in history. She's learned about the Amazon, the wild west, hawaii, the civil and revolutionary wars, the middle ages, ocean mammals, and so much more. I highly recommend the whole series.

Summary: Tonight on the Titanic
Review: My two youngest children, ages 4 and 6, love this series. Yes I realize this book has been out for 4 years but we only recently discovered the series. We just completed Tonight on the Titanic and it's our favorite so far. I worried about the subject as it's such a sad event in history. However, the author did an excellent job keeping the book upbeat and maintaining a positive outlook throughout. We find this series a nice stepping stone to chapter books. They are easy and short enough to be read in a few days. The action in the story lines is incredible enough to provide quite a cliffhanger for the children which motivates them to read ahead on their own. This series has been an asset in our home education program.
