This is a great series...and it says right in the description it is a cassette audiobook. Its really awful someone would give this a bad review for any reason. A lot of audiobooks are still on cassette.. unfortunate but true.

While we got hooked onto Magic Tree House from a restaurant giveaway, our 3 year old son's reaction to it led us to acquire many more of the books/volumes. In fact, his love of these stories brought me to Amazon today to search for more similar children's works. My only criticism is that the stories tend to be a little repetitive, but I suppose that this repetition is probably appreciated by the younger audience and is probably a common literary device which I'm not that familiar with... In this volumne Jack and Annie undertake to find four books for Morgan and the Camelot library meeting the usual assortment of helpful historical figures while learning a bit about how our civilization has evolved.

The single star review definitely does these books a disservice and I would go so far to suggest should be removed.

I mistakenly thought these were books and as they were intended as a Christmas present, was terribly disappointed. You can't tell by the title that they are NOT books, but rather cassette tapes. I don't think my grandaughter even owns anything that would play cassettes in this day and age! Be careful what you are ordering!
