5 out of 5 stars A great series!   July 2, 1999
Yeah! A series of books that will captivate all of my children from the youngest (age 6) to the oldest (age 12), so we can still enjoy our bedtime "group read." And even better - one that I enjoy reading to them! Oh, and it gets even better - the books even teach about different times and places in history! (I have to add a recommendation for you of my favorite new parenting book: Perfect Parenting: The Dictionary of 1000 Parenting Tips - very helpful!)


5 out of 5 stars It was one of the best books I have ever read!   March 8, 1999
I like the part when the soldiers shoot arrows at Jack and Annie. I liked it when they wished to go to China. I like each book being different.


5 out of 5 stars Great Read Aloud Book   July 2, 1998
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

It's not often that I find a book that I actually enjoy reading aloud to my children. Most books, even kids books, have long, descriptive passages or paragraph upon paragraph of exposition which are boring to listen to and tough to read aloud without me getting dried out.

However, the Magic Treehouse Books are quick reads that are easy to dramatize. Main characters Jack and Annie have distinct personalities that are fun to give voice to. Jack is the serious scientific type. With his signature "Oh, man!", he is the perfect counterpoint to younger, impetuous sister Annie. ("Hi!")

While it's not necessary to start with the first book of the series (Ms Osborne does a commendable job of filling in the back story in each book w/o slowing down the narration), I recommend starting with book one since there are elements that build in each consecutive book. (Who is the mysterious M?)

The Treehouse books also offer contemporary vocabulary (but not to the point of being ridiculous), cool settings and fun drawings.

But the best thing about these books? Even my oh, so cool ten year old will sit down and listen.


5 out of 5 stars It was very interesting!!!!   June 27, 1998
I learned alot about China. I never knew that the Chinese people made silk from skin. I liked that nice man who told them where the master librarian library is. The dragon king could kill them because he is not very nice and the man told them to be very careful.


5 out of 5 stars My 6-Year Old's Favorite Series   May 25, 1998
My son loves this series - we have read all 14 and he can hardly wait for the next one to come out. We highly recommend these easy to read chapter books.
