Natalie Pope Boyce is a co-author of the Magic Tree House Research Guides. Wil Osborne and Mary Pope Osborne write the guides with her. The guides provide fun, factional information for readers of the Magic Tree House series.
The Magic Tree House Research Guides give the reader more information about the places and people the Frog Creek Kids, Jack and Annie, visit. Jack and Annie have traveled to Ancient Greece and Rome. There are research guides for children between the age eight and twelve-years-old to learn more. For example, the Frog Creek Kids meet pirates in Pirates Past Noon. The related research guide, Pirates, provides facts about their ship, food, clothes and lifestyle. There is a discussion about famous pirates.
The juvenile non-fiction guides make wonderful science books. Tween children can learn about space, dinosaurs, dolphins, sharks and other natural world phenomena. The hundred-twenty-eight page guides are in depth, but do not overwhelm the middle-reader.
Look through the following tiles. Find the subjects of interest to the family or classroom. Expand children’s knowledge about the world about them. The guides are very good homeschooling books.
