5.0 out of 5 stars Great stories!, April 14, 2006

By	Mark Darbyshire - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These are wonderful stories for young children. They are very entertaining, suspenseful but not scary, and informative. My daughter is always saying, "Daddy, guess what? Did you know..." My only complaint is that some of the stories are often split over two cds.

3.0 out of 5 stars Magic Tree House CD Set, March 15, 2006

By	A. Leazer "avid reader" (Oklahoma City, OK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really enjoyed the CDs but it was read a lot faster than I personally read to my students. We have to listen to the CD twice in order to understand some things.

My 6 year old son loves the Magic Tree House books but isn't quite a good enough reader to have enough pace to get the full meaning of the story, so I bought a few book & CD sets (the first few books can come with a CD if you look around hard enough). I couldn't find any more book & CD sets so I bought the CD packs containing 8 CDs and I planned to buy the books to go along with each CD as rewards for good behavior.

When the CDs arrived - I bought the first three sets - I found that some of the stories were split between CDs so that by about the third CD it contained the end of one story and the beginning of the next as did all the CDs after that point. One of the sets didn't even identify which books were on which CD. I wrote to the publisher to explain that I didn't think this was very child friendly and were there any more individual book & CD sets available, but I have never had a response. I was disappointed with the CDs and even more disappointed with the publisher.

It may seem like a small complaint but to have my 6 year old listen to the CDs while following along with the books in bed, he would have to get out of bed and change the CD half way through, then get out of bed again and stop the CD before it went on to the next story... seems silly for the cost of one extra CD per set to get them all on their own CDs. So I sent them back and will read the books myself recording them onto a CD and he can listen to that - don't know why I didn't think of that before!
