Great learning The Magic Tree House Series is a great learning tool for children to pick up on history, science, etc mixed in with some adventure and fantasy.
Great for early readers Our five year old son is an early reader, and one of the problems we've had is finding good books that are challenging enough, yet age appropriate and interesting. A lot of the chapter books we found to be written more for children 7 years or older, and these didn't hold much interest for him, maybe because the material was too complex. On the other side, if the material was age appropriate they were written in a repetitive style using simple words that he found too boring. These books are just the right mix of interesting, exciting, and age appropriate, and we're glad to have found them. He was becoming bored with reading anything other than magazines, and these books have re-sparked his interest, which is exactly what we were looking for.
Great book for the young reader I bought the Magic Tree House books 1 through 16 for my eight year old daughter. She loves them. She reads a book in two days. She can relate to the stories and has an easy time explaining what she read. This is a great start-reader for children. Mary Pope uses a healthy combination of every-day words and with some more advanced verbiage. Though my daugter doesn't always understand the big words, she is introduced to them. This challenges her comprehension. I would recommend this series to parents of children ages 7 to 9.
Helped children develop a passion for reading! Actually, I'm buying this series of books for two sets of grandchildren. When I started, it was to excite them about the world of books, rather than TV and video games. This series was recommended by my sister who is a teacher's assistant in a pre-school.
The endeavor has been successful so far. One of the grandchildren had stated that he never wanted to learn to read! Now he is doing very well reading in school and is developing a passion for books. He carries HIS books everywhere. Another reads the books to his younger brother and they both have improved their skills in school.
These books are great for starting children on a life-long path of reading!
My son LOVES these books My 7-year old son read all four the first day we got them. I asked him if he thought they were good and he said "They're better then good; they're AWESOME!" ... nuff said! :)
