Sneaking fun into learning with Magic Tree House September 21, 2008
These books make learning history fun, especially with the companion story books that can be used with them, and the Magic Tree House website even offers a few free activity pages as well. I only wish I'd discovered this series sooner for the sake of my older children!
What a great addition to MTH! August 5, 2008
I was so excited when I came across these 'research guides' in a used book store, they are a wonderful addition! My kids have enjoyed the series so much, but the books are a little young for some fans, but they love getting the research guide to deepen their understanding of the settings and get good background information. With the summer Olympics upcoming, I made sure to have this research guide available before school ended.
 Great stand-alone as well as companion book March 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
In a recent survey of my school students, grades K through 4, Magic Tree House books won hands down as the favorite, with a strong showing in all five grade levels. The Research Guides are an excellent addition to a library collection. The connection with Jack and Annie is enough to hook any and all readers of the fiction series. But the research guides stand on their own as informative and fascinating reading. Fact-filled and thoroughly readable, these are excellent references for any reports as well as suppement to the fiction book for which it is companion.
The table of contents and index are useful, as is a list of suggested web sites and CD-ROM's, videos, books, and even museums. Best of all are the tips for making the most of each reference, for example, take your notebook to the museum, and it isn't necessary to read the entire non-fiction book. Photographs and drawings are plentiful and right on the mark.

(......) My Summary on Ancient Greece and the Olympics 4/13/05
Book by Mary pope osborne
This book is about two kids Jake and Annie are kids who like to find thing out about the Titanic, twisters, and the Olympics.
In this book they want to find out about ancient Greece and the Olympics. So in this book going back in the past and try and figure out how the Olympics worked in the past.
I like the book because it gives you the idea of what the people in Greece lived. The book over all the book is great.
I recommend this book so that boys and girls age 10-14 can read this book. It is so great that I want to read it again.
