5.0 out of 5 stars Great Nonfiction Companion to Magic Tree House books, May 19, 2007

This review is from: Magic Tree House Fact Tracker #12: Sabertooths and the Ice Age: A Nonfiction Companion to Magic Tree House #7: Sunset of the Sabertooth (Paperback)

Personally, I am not very excited by the fictional series of Magic Tree House books. The extra stuff about Jack and Annie are very boring to me and I've found many students who feel the same way. What excites me and I find interesting are the non-fiction companion books. They are 10 times better than the fiction books. I love to read them and learn a lot from reading them.

My son really enjoys the entire series of The Magic Tree House and the guidebooks. The stories keep him turning pages, in addition it provides additional learning material on the subjects being written about. Once they start reading with book one, children will want to continue the journey in the following books.

This is one of many books in the series and my daughter absolutely loves these books. As soon as she got it she couldn't put it down until she finished the book.
