Book Reviews of Magic Tree House Collection: Books 1-8
Book Review: outstanding!
Summary: 5 Stars
I cannot possibly recommend this highly enough, I wish I could give it 10 stars! I have a 4.5 year old son and 2 and 3 year old daughters. My son is absolutely enthralled by this series. The girls are interested, but still a bit too young for it. My son is currently sitting in the living room listening to it, which to my delight, he prefers over watching TV! The stories are both gripping and educational. The books have piqued his interest in many new subjects. We've quickly gone through the first 30 books! I'll be sad when it ends, though I anticipate we'll just start over, and listen to these several times over.Book Review: Fantastic Fantasy!!!

I am the mother of two boys, ages 3 and 5, I started to purchase audio cassettes to keep the boys quiet--for a least a few minutes -- on long car trips to grandmas house...over 2 hours away. The Magic Tree House Series has worked so well that the boys love to listen to them, over and over and over... even on short errands. The problem now, is, how do I get them out of the car?? The stories are delightful and have some historical/educational value, the vocabulary is not dummed down either. I find both boys discussing the "JAck and Annie" stories and role playing their favorite "scenes".Book Review: My sons favourite stories!

I got this CD when my son was just 4, he is almost 5 now, I thought it would be too old for him, but he loves it! (HE is a real book worm), He listens to it everyday, whilst he eats his lunch, he knows nearly all the words by heart! I have just ordered the next CD set for a trip we are making from WA to S.CA, it should keep him well occupied, he is a very "busy" child and it is one of the only ways I can get him to sit still while he eats!
The only thing that does 'bug me' is the amount of times the author says "said Jack", or "said Annie"! If you listen to the stories, you will understand what I mean!
Book Review: great collection!
Summary: 5 Stars
My 7-year-old loves audiobooks, and this collection definetly stands appart from the others. She can listen to the stories over and over again. The narration is quite simple, but nice. No big sound effects are needed to keep the interest. It is just like having someone reading to you...and doing a great job at it.
I love the educational part of the stories: kids learn about different times and places, and are indirectly encoraged to learn more about the different epochs they "visit" through the stories.
One more thing worth saying: this collection is WAY better than Junie B.
Book Review: The best!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This CD series absolutely captivated my 4-year-old (who doesn't have the patience to sit through most TV programs, not that I'm complaining!). She would have sat and listened to the whole entire 5 CD set in one sitting if we would have let her. Osborne's adventures are laced with historical facts and are a great choice if you're planning on going for long car rides. The only drawback was that the stories tend to be a little intense in spots--I would say if your child is very sensitive, you may need to take the time to explain some story details and monitor their reaction.
