The Magic Tree House series turned my unenthusiastic grandson into a book lover. Having trouble finding books he'd actually sit down and read, I bought a couple of these titles at his school's book fair. He picked one up that afternoon, and didn't come out of his room until dinner time, and then went back in his room to finish the book. Read a whole book in one day. Now, he does it all the time! He loves this series, and it has made him a fan of many other types of books, as well. He now loves to read. He even picks up the encyclopedia and reads it!
A must-have for any child who wants to read the Magic Tree House Series in order (and there is a serial element to the books, so it's indeed helpful). The value is amazing, but the absolute best part is the fold-out poster that's included. On one side is a timeline to follow the historical periods of Jack and Annie's adventures; the other side is a world map where the setting of each book is labelled.My seven-year-old has not only gained a love of reading from these books, but she's also learned about historical events all over the globe.
My preschooler loved Books 1-4 which I read aloud to her [sound effects and all!], and I decided getting the boxed set of Magic Tree House Vols 1-28 would be a worthwhile investment, as I can envision her 'growing' with this series and hopefully reading the books by herself someday. The books should preferably be read in order so getting the boxed set precludes having to hunt around for the various titles in the series. I love the fold-out poster that comes with this boxed set which consists of a timeline describing Jack and Annie, our intrepid explorer siblings' adventures through the ages, and a map of the world. These books are not just a fun way of inculcating a love for reading in children, but also a love for history!
This came exactly as pictured, it is a boxed set of books. My kid LOVES this series! It has short chapters, and is easy to read. He is only 5 1/2 and can read 90% of the book. Anything that makes my son WANT to read is a good buy, and since there are 28 books in this box, he is going to be reading for awhile! Thanks.
Can't believe the price for what you get! Better than scholastic book pricing. My children (ages 5 to 10 boys and girls) all love them! I enjoyed listening to the audio CD as a family. Definately reccomend.
We heard about the Magic Tree House a little late in the game. My son was only 5 though so introducing him to the world of it was easy and fun to do. There is something in these books for every member of the family. It's not a chore to read out loud, they are reasonably educational, and the stories themselves stay varied and make you look forward to the next installment. The brother's a little bit of a downer, but oh well, we all know one. I'm very happy with the series and even happier that I bought a set of them. We'll continue to buy more!
My daughter is 5 and we read the books together. She loves the adventures and is looking forward to being able to read these herself. I will definately purchase the next set of books in the series.
I assisted my grandson to start reading at around 2 1/2 to3 yrs with sight words. As he improved we moved onto workbooks where he would read several paragraphs and then answer questions. I finally realized this 4 1/2 yr old now needed more variety and challeng. I remembered these books from my teaching days abd bought a used set of the 1st 38 titles. Eow!! He loves them and reads these 2nd/3rd grade level books nearly without assistebce. A fun; interestibg and insyructive series. Highly recommend!!
