Summary: My 4 year old's first chapter books
Review: My 4-year old received 2 of the Magic Treehouse books for Christmas this year. I looked at them and thought there was no way he'd be able to comprehend a book with chapters. But I read through it myself and found it an easy read with a fairly simple storyline. So I started with this, book #1, and read it to him. We were able to read it in one sitting, and he followed it just fine. He was so excited that I brought him to the bookstore to pick out a new Magic Treehouse book today. He asked "will Jack and Annie be in this book too?"
He doesn't really read books himself, but as a read-together book, this was wonderful. A great intro to books with more words than pictures. I plan to start collecting this series for him and reading them together at least once a week (if I could afford to buy one a day I would do that).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awakening a child's imagination
Review: My 5 year old daughter has fallen in love with the Magic Tree House books. If only there were more books like this. She had not been particularly interested in dinosaurs, but after this book she clearly wants to learn more. As a father who reads to my daughters every night, I think that it is a pleasure to find an author who has managed to give a lot of information, while writing a fun story that really awakens the imagination of children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fun book.
Review: My dad and I liked this book because it was exciting and made us feel like we were traveling through time. My friends in the first grade like the Magic Tree House series, and we highly recommend them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dinosaurs Before Dark
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dinosaurs Before Dark
Review: My name is George. I am eight years old, and I am in 3rd grade. Thetitle is Dinosaur Before Dark and the author's name is Mary PopeOshorne. Jack and Annie went to the Magic Tree House. So Jack and Annie saw a lot of books.Jack picked up one book and put it in his backpack. When Annie and Jack came out they saw a dinosaur from a long time ago. They saw a Pterandon flying around the Magic Tree House.Annie and Jack took a flight from the Pterandon. Jack and Annie went to the past where dinosaurs lived. The dinosaurs that Jack and Annie saw were Pterandon,Triceratops, duck-billed dinosaur, and Tyrannosaurs Rex. When they saw the Tyrannosaurs Rex, he tried to eat them.

I liked this book because they went back in time to explore where was the dinosaur live. Yes I will recommend to other children to read this book to the 3rd graders. I give this story 5 stars. END

Review: 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.

Review: THE MAGIC TREE HOUSE #1 THIS IS A STORY ABOUT TWO KIDS WHO FIND A MAGIC TREE HOUSE. THEIR NAMES ARE JACK AND ANNIE. THEY COULD SEE THE TREE HOUSE BECAUSE ANNIE BELEVES IN MAGIC AND JACK LIKES BOOKS. THE MAGIC TREE HOUSE TAKES THEM TO LOTS OF COOL PLACES. I GIVE THIS BOOK A **** (4 STARS).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Simple for new readers
Review: These are the books that finally got my 8 year son, who'd been very unwilling to read by himself, into reading. He likes the different settings for each book (dinosaurs, pirates, wild west) and that they're fast paced. To an adult, the books are too simplistic, but they're just right for the new reader who's looking for adventure/action stories with a little bit of mystery tossed in for good measure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great family bedtime book.
Review: 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.
