Summary: The book
Review: Joe, Fred, and Sam find themselves in the land and time of King Arthur, fighting a black knight, a giant, and a dragon. And it all started with a simple present at Joe's birthday party - a book from his uncle the magician that the boys "accidentally" used. But how will the trio get back???This first book in the Time Warp Trio series is an imaginative, humorous, adventurous book for kids (not just boys) ages 7-11. Everything about the book spells pure fun! The only problem with starting the Time Warp series? You'll want to read them all. So why not do just that? 55 pages with illustrations

Summary: Funny but not terribly "challenging"
Review: My son recently wrote the following mini-review: This, the first of the hilarious Time Warp Trio series, begins with Joe's birthday party. He and his friends, Fred and Same, are doing what you do at a party - stuffing their faces and so on. Joe's uncle always sends him strange magic tricks, hats, capes, etc. for his birthday (because he's a magician for a circus), but nothing is stranger than the gift he sends this year: a blue book with gold and silver mythical designs on it. Fred jerks it from Joe's hands and opens it. On the page are knights and castles. He wishes they could visit medieval times to see the knights, and his wish comes true! The trio finds itself face to face with a huge, mad knight preparing to slice and dice them. Will they escape this medieval world, or will they live a life hundreds of years before their own?

Summary: The Knights of the kitchen table
Review: The Knights of the Kitchen Table is very exciting. When Joe goes to his birthday party he gets a present from his Uncle Joe, Joe the Magnificent. Fred opens the book and he says, "Wouldn't it be cool if we could see all those Knights and real stuff". And then they go into the past and see the Knights. The Black Knight tries to kill them. This story is funny because Sam tells lie to a giant and when the dragon comes he blows fire and when giant odor mixes with dragon fire it blows up and lots of their skin comes down and meat. I recommend this book because it is easy to read and it's hilarious!

Summary: Knights of the Kitchen Talbe
Review: Trevor H. wrote: I rated this book a four because they had a lot of knights and one dragon. They also had a giant, and the giant and dragon were fighting.
This book is about a dragon and a giant known as Bleob were fighting near a castle and the three boys almost died at the beginning from the first knight when he struck his lance at them.
I would recommend people that like knights, dragons, and giants because they fight a lot with these characters.

Summary: Kids of the Reading Circle
Review: We suggest The Time Warp Trio, Knights of the Kitchen Table to you because it is funny and interesting. There was a magic book called "The Book" that sent Joe, Sam, and Fred back in time. An evil Black Knight wanted to hurt them. A powerful magician named Merlin was jealous of the three boys. It's so fun and exciting; you'll want to pop into the story, just like they did. It's a mix of fantasy and funny history. The author, Jon Scieszka, is extraordinary, he makes the story seem like you're part of it. It will take you off to a magical land. This book is so exciting that you won't want to put it down. The pictures are so hilarious; you'll laugh your head off.

Summary: Knights of the Kitchen Talbe
Review: You know, it's a real shame that this book isn't funnier than it is. Somewhere out there, legions of ten-year-olds are chanting my name and wanting blood, but it's true. I cannot tell a lie. This book doesn't hold a candle to Scieszka and Lane's true children's classics like, "The Stinky Cheese Man". It blushes in the face of their inspired "Math's Curse". What went wrong here? Great illustrator. Great author. Put them together for a children's series and you get.... mildly amusing banter and a short plot that stops before it even begins. Oy yoy yoy, say I. So I'm not a fan, and that's okay too. There are plenty of amusing series books out there for people such as myself. But what's my real objection? Well sir, it's just not as funny as I had hoped it would be. My expectations are too high, that's the problem. Will this book teach kids about King Arthur? Maybe. Maybe not. In any case, it's a droll little piece of fluff without much substance.

Summary: A humorous book makes a good book!!!
Review: You should buy this book because it kept me reading page after page, chapter after chapter. The only bad thing about this book is that there was a boring beginning, like a lot of books do. It started out with three kids walking home from school when they find a book, open it and become characters in the book. I really liked the rest of the book because it was very funny and adventurous
