Twister On Tuesday (Magic Tree House 23, paper)

Rating:
Summary: Terrific
Review: I read the Magic Tree House series when I was eight or nine. I especially liked this one because I'm really interested the pioneer days. Jack and his sister Annie are whisked back to the 1870s in the magic tree house to find "something to learn." They find a pioneer school. Then, Jack and Annie realize that they have found "something to learn." But as Jack and Annie are heading back to the tree house to go home, they see something off in the distance-a twister! In their research book, it says that a cellar is in the school, but Jack and Annie know that the teacher and students wouldn't know about it since there is a rug over it. They go back to the school and tell them about it. Everyone gets in the cellar, and thank Jack and Annie for saving their lives. Jack also becomes friends with Jeb, an older boy who was mean to him before. I recommend this book to grades 1-4.

Summary: Critique of Twister on Tuesday
Review: In my opinion this book was superb. This story was about two young children, Jack and Anniewho go on a quest to rescue the kingom of Camelot. They need to discover something to follow,to send,to learn, and something to lend. On this adventure they need to learn something. this subject takes them to the prairie in the time of the pioneer. In the prairie they find themselves at a schoolhouse educated by an 18 year old and there they find they find something to learn while saving their class from a twister (tornado). What I liked about this story was that there was lots of truthful details and it was weel built. I reccomend this book to reading levels 2 to 4 and who like endless series.

Summary: my second grader loves magic tree house series
Review: My son and I love reading the magic tree house books. My son would rather be outside playing football with his little brother but will frequently pick up a Magic Tree House book when it is reading time. All of the stories are based on the adventures of Jack and Annie as they are taken back into a time in history. My son really enjoyed the civil war story as well as Twisters on Tuesday. All of the stories reveal 3 or 4 themes that a young reader can understand. These books are a great way to get your child excited about reading.

Summary: Terrific
Review: The Magic Tree House is a very imaginative historical fantasy series. Jack and Annie are seven and eight year olds who find a magical tree house in the forest. The tree house allows them to travel to travel to different places and time periods by reading books found in the tree house. In this particular story #23, they travel to the prairies in the 1870's. They are on a quest that began in book #21 to find the third of four kinds of writing to help save Camelot. On the pairies they, learn first hand aobut wagon trains, one room school houses were used and other problems pioneers face on the praires. The most important lesson they learn in the story is how important storm cellars and dugouts were! This is a great book to read while learning about the 1870's, prairie lands and weather. The back of each book also includes facts about the time period the children visit. This book includes facts about twisters, pioneer life on the prairie and poineer school books. The few illustrations used in this book are essential for young students to understand vocabulary. Sal Murdocca does a great job illustrating wagon trains, dugouts and one room schools. This is a very infomative book and keeps 6- 9 year olds avidly reading, listening and learning about important historical time periods.

Summary: Twister on Tuesday
Review: This story was about a boy named Jack who is eight years old and his sister Annie who is seven years old. In the first book thay find a magic tree house in the woods. They find out that if they point to a book cover, that is where they will go. Mary Pope has written more books in this series. In Twister on Tuesday, Jack and Annie land in front of a schoolhouse and soon a giant twister appears. Read to find out what happens. My favorite part is when they ate frozen potatoes.
