The Magic Tree House Books Boxed Set, Books 1-28, is by Mary Pope Osborne. Sal Murdocca illustrates the Magic Tree House Collection. Jack and Annie, are siblings and the boxed set series’ heroes. Random House publishes the Magic Tree House Kids Books.

Jack and Annie are regular kids who became time travelers. Their time portal is a magic treehouse. The kids point to a book’s picture and say together, “I wish we can go there.” The treehouse spins faster and faster until the young detectives arrive at their predetermined destination. Africa, the American West, Australia, Greece and even the moon are some of their destinations in the Magic Tree House Books Boxed Set, Books 1-28. These children have the most fantastic adventures.

The young detectives have a mystery to solve in every adventure book. They must report their findings to Morgan Le Fay. She is the magical librarian of Camelot. It is she who gave the kids the treehouse.

Parents and educators love the early reader chapter books. They help kids make the transition from picture books to chapter books. The Magic Tree House Series are easy and fun for young readers. Also, children learn facts about each book’s location. For example, in Lions at Lunchtime, the kids learn facts about different African animals and migration. Jack and Annie see lions, elephants, crocodiles and giraffes. The reader learns something about each animal and their reason to migrate.

Kids love Magic Tree House Books because they are fun and easy to understand. The facts do not overwhelm them. Jack and Annie speak as they. In addition, children enjoy a good mystery book. Sal Murdocca’s illustrations give great visual clues to Mary Pope Osborne’s text.

Each story book averages hundred-twenty pages which Random House divides into nine chapters. Every chapter is short which gives the early chapter book reader a sense of accomplishment at each chapter’s end(I can read a complete chapter, yeah!). The Magic Tree House Books is a hit with third and fourth graders. Read aloud to younger children or have them read with a parent, grandparent or teacher to sharpen their reading skills. Enjoy the Magic Tree House Series!
