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

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.

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.

If you like ninjas then you'll want to read night of the ninjas.

If you are a fraidy cat you might like Jack and if you like to imagine,then you will like Annie. If you like mice, then you will like Peanut in the story.

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

I liked Night of the Ninjas, because it's exciting and you will like it, too.

This is the best one I have read of the series so far. I liked it so much that I've been telling everybody else in class to read the same book. I also like the pictures in all the books. It is very good artwork. The book made we want to travel to Asia and see historic places.

This excellent book is about two kids named Jack and Annie. One day they were walking in Frog Creek Woods and they found a magic treehouse. Then they travelled back to Ancient Japan where two ninjas capture them. Read to find out what happens next.
This is an exelent book and one of my favorites! I would recommend this book to any one that likes adventure.

If you like ninjas, then this is the book for you, the Night of the Ninjas.

If you like mice, you will like the wise mouse Peanut. This is no ordinary mouse. There is a whole bunch of mystery.

I like Night of the Ninjas, because it kept me reading.

I think this book was so cool! I would really want to go with Jack and Annie on their journey. My eyes poped when I saw that mighty samurai and when the ninja master said: "use nature, be nature,and follow nature."

Night of the Ninjas
By Mary Pope Osborne

Would you like to hear about a book called Night of the Ninjas? The two main characters are Jack and Annie. They find a Magic Tree House that allows them to travel through time. In this book, they go back to the time of the ninjas. They are captured and taken to the head ninja. I'm not telling what's next. The series is Magic Tree House. This is book number five. Read the book to find out what happens to Jack and Annie.

The Magic Tree House series is a great idea that could be executed much better. I agree with some of the other reviewers comments regarding limited and in some instances dubious information on their subject matter. However, I am giving this book four stars because my five year old son loves it. I have found it a struggle to finds books that he will sit down and read with me and the fact that this book grasps his attention is a great credit to it. In fact, now that I have bought the first eight books in the series, his ten year old sisters are reading and enjoying them, also. These books serve the purpose of introducing a topic (usually historical) and sparking a child's that can then be pursued in other books.

The original Magic School Bus series (by Joanna Cole - not the ones taken from the TV show) is a much better series that incorporates a lot of science with a fun story line.
