Magic Tree House Books 13-16 Boxed Set: Vacation Under the Volcano/Day of the Dragon King/Viking Ships at Sunrise/Hour of the Olympics : Osborne, Mary Pope, Murdocca, Sal: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Great kids books that are sneakily educational - We started reading the magic tree house series after a trip to America where I think the books are more widely known. The stories follow Jack and Annie on their travels through time to various places in history in a magic tree house. The books are all 10 chapters in length and are all based around some form of historic event or time. For example, we've read about the pyramids, ancient Greece, Pompei and the wild west to name few. As much as the books are fun fictional stories, the subject matter is factual and educational without children seeing it as such. Each story book does have an accompanying fact book although I can't comment on these as we haven't bought them. They did run an English version of the books (which are American based) for the first few although eventually they went back to a common series. We're on book 22 now and I believe there's more than 40. My 4 year old is too young to read them herself, although now she's learning to read at school she does read some of the words. They're probably better suited to 6+ as actual reading material. If like us though you're looking for a good bedtime series to get your teeth into then I can't recommend them enough.

Great kids books that are sneakily educational
We started reading the magic tree house series after a trip to America where I think the books are more widely known. The stories follow Jack and Annie on their travels through time to various places in history in a magic tree house. The books are all 10 chapters in length and are all based around some form of historic event or time. For example, we've read about the pyramids, ancient Greece, Pompei and the wild west to name few. As much as the books are fun fictional stories, the subject matter is factual and educational without children seeing it as such. Each story book does have an accompanying fact book although I can't comment on these as we haven't bought them. They did run an English version of the books (which are American based) for the first few although eventually they went back to a common series. We're on book 22 now and I believe there's more than 40. My 4 year old is too young to read them herself, although now she's learning to read at school she does read some of the words.

Good stories - but this is an American edition
My son loves the Magic Tree House stories and we have quite a few from a British publisher. This boxed set however is from an American publisher and therefore published in American English. Obviously the American version is the original, but if you buy these books to help your child with reading and spelling, make sure you get the right version.

My 6 year old daughter LOVES these books. She has many sets and a few on Audible. The stories are all so great and engaging. I love buying her these books to read together.

These books are GREAT. They're easy to read, but not dumbed down. The characters have adventures, but they're "not too scary" (a high compliment from the 8-year-old who made me turn off Frozen). They give interesting glimpses into history and different cultures. They make really great first chapter books! I started out reading them at bedtime, two chapters at a time, but that apparently wasn't fast enough, because they disappeared into the kids' room and two days later they demanded I order the next four.

My 7year old son loved these books, he would read them non-stop. Each book has a touch of science/history as well
