5.0 out of 5 stars This a good book., October 13, 1999
By A Customer
Annie and Jack are getting out of bed. They started to sneak outside. They walked to the tree house and climbed up and looked at the Africa book with giraffes on one side and zebras on the other. It took me two weeks to read this book. I can't tell you any more, but I think it's a good book for 2-4 grades. The book is adventurous to me, and I think it's a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lions at Lunchtime, May 28, 2000
By "erb65" (California) - See all my reviews
My 7 year old inhaled this book-- over 60 pages-- without stopping! The entire series has been excellent. Great character development, always a social lesson along with lessons about history and science, well-paced, and fun. High motivator for reading, and got him to make that leap to reading silently. Strongly recommended for early readers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adventure, science, geography!, March 2, 1999
The reader is invited to solve a riddle and learn scientific facts through an interesting adventure. My child (age 5) became excited at the very beginning of the book simply by the idea of a tree house. When he learned that the tree house would travel through time and space, he was thrilled. He was further motivated to read on because he wanted to solve the riddle. There are several facts to be learned in the book--such as why a lion would not attack a giraffe, the migration of the animals, and the personality of hyenas. But Jesse did not find it preachy because the author skillfully blends it into the plot of the story.

The story motivates children to learn geography as well as scientific facts. I was surprised to see Jesse go to the bedroom in the middle of the story, get his It's a Big Big World Atlas (Tormont Publications, 1994), and try to find Africa. He did not know where Africa was, but since there are giraffes in the story and there is a giraffe standing on the continent of Africa on his map, he successfully located Africa. After reading the book with my child and observing how he reacted, I not only suggest this book for young gifted readers but also for teachers who wish to combine science, language arts, and geography curriculum.
