Magic Tree House Books 5-8 Boxed Set

I remember reading this series when I was a kid and thought it would be fun to read to my boys (6 and 4). Now that my oldest is in kindergarten, we've been doing reading logs and this seemed like the easiest and most fun way to get my kids to love reading. I've never read any chapter books to them yet so this was a first for us. And I was SHOCKED at how well they sat and listened and wanted to keep reading to find out what happens next. It also helps it's all the things they love like dinosaurs, knights and pirates. It's been fun for me too to read to them and connect with them. I didn't enjoy reading as a kid but I hope to teach my kids to love reading.

Love this series for my grandson who is an avid reader.

My son loves these books! He’s in 1st grade. They keep him engaged and encourage his imagination. He loves the different adventures in each book and I love the wholesome lessons. Well worth the money and reading time

This series is an engaging delight. My grandchildren adore them.

My son loves this series!

My daughter who is in first grade absolutely loves these books. She is a bit higher in her reading level than most, but she is obsessed with this book set. She really enjoys reading them.

This book series is very simply written and with some grammatical errors "till" instead on until, beginning sentences with "And". However, it has been fun to read 5 of these books with my 6-7 year old son over the past month. It takes about an hour to read the whole story. He looks forward to the next story, as the story in the books are interweaved and sequentially dependent. He even wanted to peek at the end of the book to see what happened before we started reading! It is that kind of enthusiasm that encourages more reading. A few of the stories were borderline scary because the kids are held captive by a pirate, and in danger of being hurt by a sabertooth tiger etc, but these can be put into perspective if the child is ready to deal with it.

I'm all about buying books for the grandkids. We've told them just like when it kids were young if you want a book just ask
