For Older Kids
We love this series and my almost six year old has been glued to them since book 1. However, I think the content of book 21 is a little too heavy for a six year old. In the previous set, I found the book about the sinking Titanic and the following book with smoking peyote to be a little questionable, but these go even further. Book 21 has Jack and Annie talking to a wounded, ex-slave who states that he wouldn't have any family to return to, even if he did survive his injuries. I think kids need to learn the horrors of the past for sure, but to a kid who is just barely grasping the concept of death, war and slavery are too much. Perhaps an 8 or 9 year old can read about trench warfare, torn and bloody uniforms and a little boy on the field who looks just like Jack, but the age ranges in the description say ages 6-9. We bought the set and we'll read them someday, because they are good, but I wish I knew how serious the subject matter would be first.
A Must-Have for All Learning Children
My 7-year-old niece loves these. I took her to a Civil War reenactment and learned quickly that I had no idea how to explain war to a child. How do you explain these horrific things that human beings have done to a little girl who just doesn't understand? So after a little asking around, I heard about the Magic Tree House books. I feel confident that she's getting a good introduction to history and things every human being should learn about without crushing her innocence so much. Obviously it's great reading practice, as well.
Easy and engaging!
We love Magic Treehouse! They were the first books that my seven year old could really read on her own and really helped keep her interested in reading. She now reads at at least a 6th grade level (think, Harry Potter) but still will pick up and read these for fun. We homeschool and I got this set to go along with our American History unit that we're doing. My five year old and three year old also find them engaging enough to sit and listen to when I read aloud.
This was a good selection of the awesome Magic Tree House books
This was a good selection of the awesome Magic Tree House books. My 7 year old read one a day for four days until she finished them all. She loves the characters and the magical realism of this series. I would definitely recommend Magic Tree House books. Jack and Annie have all kinds of great adventures and missions. This series was specifically about times in American History which was great in giving my daughter information about American History on her level.
Great for a young audience that is looking for adventure!
My daughter reads these multiple times! Nice price and a great gift for a kid (mine is 8) who wants to go on an adventure! She has almost every book from this series and will read them constantly! She even re reads the books she loves them so much! Which is great because I liked them as a kid and now she can read what I once read! (only she reads them much faster than I did at her age). They area great price on here as well!
My son loves the Magic Tree House series and can't get enough of them!
My son loves the Magic Tree House series and can't get enough of them! He is 8 years old and buzzes through one of them in about 50 minutes, this is hard to keep up with, but worth it! I am having a hard time finding the series books for 29 and up in box sets, but I will keep looking! In the interim, he is reading Treasure Hunters by James Patterson...he loves these too and they are much larger books 480 pages vs 70!!!
Definitely recommend!
My 5 year old loves all of the Magic Tree House stories. We have Volumes 1-24, and he can't wait for the next set! The stories are short, simple yet so exciting. We love that it's mostly text. It really gives our son the opportunity to use his imagination and try to see the story in his head while we are reading.
Best children's series!
Magic Tree House books are so good for 2nd and 3rd graders. It is really amazing how well the author controls the use of appropriate reading level vocabulary and writes such interesting stories. All three of my children loved this series.
these would be fine.
These are the first of the MTH books that my son wasn't interested in. I think the content (war) was something he just didn't want to deal with at bedtime. He's six, so we'll try reading them together at other times, and see how that goes. I am sure for kids who are interested in history already, or are a bit older, these would be fine.
This is a great series for kids that teaches so many facts about ...
Have been reading this series with my granddaughter for years and now she is reading the higher number ones on her own. This is a great series for kids that teaches so many facts about the world, geography, and history.
