5.0 out of 5 stars My kids can't get enough!!!!, September 7, 2004

Wow. My wife and I were going on a long car trip with a 5, 3 and 1 year old, and wanted an alternative to the DVD player and Disney movies. What a find!!! Our 5 and 3 year old were silent and tranfixed on these stories for over 4 hours. that was 3 months ago. Now, our five year old spends her "quiet time" in her room, coloring and listening to these great stories. They are not silly or sassy (like some others), they are educational, smart and riveting tales featuring strong and confident children. For our girls, it is especially gratifying to have them listen to stories featuring a girl (Annie) who doesn't talk endlessly of princesses and dresses. A huge bonus is we actually like listening to them also!!!! These books on CD are simply amazing. On Saturday mornings, our girls get up and listen to the stories in their rooms, while playing quietly!!!! We have found the holy grail of parenting, and it was hidden in a Magic Treehouse!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic Tree House CD Collection Books 9-16, October 30, 2003

My 6 year old and I have enjoyed listening to these fantastic adventure books on CD. Mary Pope Osborne did an incredible job of weaving her stories chapter by chapter. The story plot keeps a child engrossed for the duration of the book. It is a great mode of entertainment for long trips. We recommend this to parents of young children. Her stories are G rated for ages of 3-4 year olds and up.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Better Than a DVD, Dad", August 3, 2005

By 

Blake Fields - See all my reviews

This review is from: Magic Tree House CD Collection Books 9-16 (Audio CD)

The stories are addictive and the narration is terrific. My 4 kids, ranging in age from 4 to 8 all love the books and opt to listen to the CDs instead of using the car's DVD player. They are better saved for longer trips, but each book has about 10 chapters, so there are natural breaks in the story. It will keep everyone's interest for at least an hour or two before you'll want to swap-out Jack and Annie for some Springsteen or Sinatra. The stories are exciting but not scary, and there is an educational element to them as well.
