5.0 out of 5 stars Great book about Ninjas, April 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Night of the Ninjas (Magic Tree House, No. 5) (Paperback)

I liked the mouse and I liked that Jack and Annie turned into Ninjas. This book has a lot of action in it, and I learned that the Samauri were ancient Japan fighters

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a great book, December 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Night of the Ninjas (Magic Tree House, No. 5) (Paperback)

If you like ninjas, then you'll want to read Night of the Ninjas.

If you like mice, you'll like this book, because Peanut is a mouse.

The story keeps you guessing. becaue the mouse acts like a human.

I liked Night of the Ninjas, because ninjas fight like martial
artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars He loves 'em., February 7, 2000

This review is from: Night of the Ninjas (Magic Tree House, No. 5) (Paperback)

Something about this series of books appeals enough to 2nd grade readers that they will read them on their own -- and ask for more. I read this book to make sure it was suitable for my son and I found it remarkably lacking in substance -- it's pretty much only the setting that changes from book to book -- I'm grateful I don't have to read this series aloud! However, my 7-year-old son reads a Tree House book in one or two sittings and his reading skills are greatly improved. He doesn't balk when I ask him to read aloud to his 3-year-old brother. Now the 3-year-old is crazy for them, too, and carries the books around and quotes passages from them. All I can say is: I wish I had stumbled on this Osborne chick's gold mine first.
