4.0 out of 5 stars Great "chapter book" for early readers!, March 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Sunset of the Sabertooth (Magic Tree House, No. 7) (Paperback)

My 4 year old loves this series. He can't wait until I buy the next in the series! He loves that he can read one chapter at a time and carry the excitement on to the next day. Wonderful story lines that are appropriate for small children without the gore and scary violence of many chapter books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Historical Fiction Book Review, April 14, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Sunset of the Sabertooth (Magic Tree House, No. 7) (Paperback)

I read the book Sunset of the Sabertooth.

This book is fantastic.

Jack and Annie traveled to the Ice Age in their magical tree house. They were searching for something that started with the letter "M". During their search they met a sorcerer that helped them find a flute that was made from a mammoth bone.
I learned some interesting facts. I learned that cavemen made flutes out of mammoth bones. I discovered that the cavemen were also called Cro-Magnons. I also learned that bears back then were much larger than they are now.
I would recommend this book for three reasons. This book has very interesting facts. The book was exciting to read. I also liked this book because it has unique animals.
Sunset of the Saber tooth is a great book.

4.0 out of 5 stars More informative with a better storyline, February 3, 2008

This review is from: Sunset of the Sabertooth (Magic Tree House, No. 7) (Paperback)

I started reading this series to my 4 year old son and recommend it to anyone who wants to broaden their kids adventure geography.The research guides accompanying many of them are very informative and concise...rather they are a must have.

This one has a better storyline compared to the rest and covers various l aspects of the Ice Age Apart ..starting with the habitat of the CroMagnon man and how that they made their clothes from reindeer skin and lamps for visibility by hollowing out stones,how they had to hunt other animals like wooly mammoth by making traps in the ground as there were no supermarkets in the Ice Age.

For a younger audience (4-6),these books are informative .
