Review: "Where are the lions?"

Jack wonders when the Magic Tree House whisks him and his sister, Annie to the vast plains of Africa. Before he can find out, Annie starts to help hundreds of wildebeests cross a rushing river. Next they follow a honey of a bird and meet an awesine Masai warrior. Jack hopes any lions will just stay away. Jack is about to be very dissapointed.....

But, you won't be when you read Lions At Lunchtime.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This a good book.
Review: Annie and Jack are getting out of bed. They started to sneak outside. They walked to the tree house and climbed up and looked at the Africa book with giraffes on one side and zebras on the other. It took me two weeks to read this book. I can't tell you any more, but I think it's a good book for 2-4 grades. The book is adventurous to me, and I think it's a great book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You're off on another great adventure!
Review: Lions at Lunchtime is a great book, written by Mary Pope Osborne. It is about Jack and Annie's adventures in Africa. The magic Tree House takes them to Africa to solve a riddle. Jack and Annie meet a lot of animals. They also meet a worrior. You will have to read the book to see if they meet any lions.
If you like animals, you will like reading Lions at Lunchtime. It was an exciting book. I really like the part when Jack and Annie walk under a giraffe. You will have to read the book to find out why they walk under the giraffe.

Review: Lions at Lunchtime
By: Mary Pope OsborneG

My book is about Jack and Annie going to Africa. Jack can't find the lions. Will Jack find the lions? The story tells about Jack and Annie's exciting adventures to solve riddles and become librarians.
I like the book because I like adventures. My favorite part is when Annie gets stuck in the mud because she was going across the river while getting chased by wildebeasts.
Mary Pope Osborne's story can be fun and interesting when shared with your brother or sister.

Summary: Lions at Lunchtime
Review: My 7 year old inhaled this book-- over 60 pages-- without stopping! The entire series has been excellent. Great character development, always a social lesson along with lessons about history and science, well-paced, and fun. High motivator for reading, and got him to make that leap to reading silently. Strongly recommended for early readers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This a good book.
Review: The reader is invited to solve a riddle and learn scientific facts through an interesting adventure. My child (age 5) became excited at the very beginning of the book simply by the idea of a tree house. When he learned that the tree house would travel through time and space, he was thrilled. He was further motivated to read on because he wanted to solve the riddle. There are several facts to be learned in the book--such as why a lion would not attack a giraffe, the migration of the animals, and the personality of hyenas. But Jesse did not find it preachy because the author skillfully blends it into the plot of the story.

The story motivates children to learn geography as well as scientific facts. I was surprised to see Jesse go to the bedroom in the middle of the story, get his It's a Big Big World Atlas (Tormont Publications, 1994), and try to find Africa. He did not know where Africa was, but since there are giraffes in the story and there is a giraffe standing on the continent of Africa on his map, he successfully located Africa. After reading the book with my child and observing how he reacted, I not only suggest this book for young gifted readers but also for teachers who wish to combine science, language arts, and geography curriculum.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You're off on another great adventure!
Review: This book was my first, but my 4th best. I mean, it's still tremendous, but the action isn't the best, but good enough. My favorite part is the part where Jack and Annie face a terrible time getting back to the tree house. Also, the funny part is at the time mentioned above, and at the beginning of the story. It's where Jack and Annie discover lions dislike giraffes. I get the reason, but it was still very funny. Also, I didn't know that giraffes could give a big kick like that. Well, I'm not going to spoil the book, so read it for yourself, and I guarantee you'll love it even though it may not be the best.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Neat book for countless reasons!
