5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the best books I have ever read!!, December 6, 1998
By A Customer
This is one of the best books I have ever read (and I have all of them!) The coolest part is when Jack and Annie leaped on the horse for a ride to the treehouse where they were safe and sound! I like your books so much that I gave them to my friends as birthday presents, and now they enjoy them too! I hope you keep on writing!

3.0 out of 5 stars In defense of the historical information included..., June 29, 2001
By Ramona T. Aganon (Colorado Springs, CO) - See all my reviews
The first person to review this book said that it included an erroneous fact that women were indeed allowed to participate in the ancient Olympics. Actually, at first women were not permitted to participate, nor were they allowed to be spectators until the 2nd century A.D. They did, however, have their own festival at Olympia called the Heraia with the only sporting event being a short race. In Sparta, a state in southern ancient Greece, girls were encouraged to take part in sports and games (Olympics, Oxlade and Ballheimer; Eyewitness Books, 1999). So, the information provided in this book is actually factual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic in more ways than imaginable, October 10, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Magic Tree House #16: Hour of the Olympics (A Stepping Stone Book(TM)) (Library Binding)
"Hour Of The Olympics" is good because of the ways you learn about the Olympics, and the Olympic events, plus the legend of Pegasus, the flying horse. So amazing, I almost applauded so loud my neighborhood could hear me. Trust me, you can't miss out on this one.
