Earthquake in the Early Morning (Magic Tree House #24) (Magic Tree House (R))

This series is an appealing format to learn about event s in history. Of course, it is geared to the younger child. One of my grandsons read the books himself; while the other has the books read to him. Both are eager for the next one.

These books are a cry of relief from the five minute books we usually read with our son and they have already taught him so much about science, nature, and particularly history. Jack and Annie, the lead characters in the series, travel through time and meet with prominent historical figures such as Equipment Queens, take a trip to the moon, spend a day with Abraham Lincoln, land in camp with General George Washington as he is ready to cross the Delaware, and even convince a young Mozart to continue his pursuit in music.They are well written books that peak interest in subjects young kids may not yet have access to and have accompanying research guides that give detailed back stories and historical guides to the subjects covered in the novels. Although the intended audience of the series seem to be for children around 8 - 10, our five year old becomes engulfed in the stories every single evening, always looking forward to what adventure Jack and Annie are heading for next.Amazon also tend to have a wider availability of the series than book stores like Barnes and Nobel at prices up to half the cost of the same.

My kids LOVE this book series. They definitely nurture a love of reading and an interest in history.

My 2nd graders loved the book. We've read aloud in class a variety of the Magic Treehouse books, they loved this one, too. We were also studying a Unit on natural disasters and Severe weather, that's the primary reason we chose this book. It fit right in, as Jack and Annie (the 2 main Characters) went on an adventure to help people, as well as a few other tasks that I'll spare you the spoiler.I recommend it highy.Michael
