This review is from: Afternoon on the Amazon (Magic Tree House, No. 6) (Paperback)

this is the first book in the series that I have read to my 6- year-old. He just loved it and I must confess, so did I. The book isn't too long and the story has a fast pace which holds the child's attention. I like the illustrations too. All in all highly recommended. I've just ordered 5 more

This review is from: Afternoon on the Amazon (Magic Tree House, No. 6) (Paperback)

I like books by Mary Pope Osborne but I think this is probably one of best books she ever wrote. I think that because it is filled with adventure. My favorite character in this book would be Morgan Le Fay or Annie. I recomend it for people who like adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting adventure, February 27, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Afternoon on the Amazon (Magic Tree House, No. 6) (Paperback)

I like this book because it is an adventure book. I believe it is a good book for kids that like adventure. The book is about two kids named Jack and Annie. They go on a trip to the amazon rain forest. When they get to the tree house they find a mouse. The mouse helps them through the rain forest. So they find a canoe on the river side and get in it. When they get down the river a monkey starts throwing red fruits at them. After it stops doing that piranhas started to eat the boat. Then after that Jack grabs a snake. So after that they back on the river side. When they get on the side, a army of ants come after them. When they get away from the army of ants they can not find the tree house , so they put the mouse on the ground and it finds the tree house. But the jaguar finds them and starts running after them. Now you need to read the book to see if they find what they are looking for.
